Initial symptoms include pain, swelling, and restricted thumb and wrist movement. Diagnosis often involves a Finkelstein test, with untreated conditions potentially leading to chronic pain and decreased mobility. Recovery spans several weeks to months, with treatment including rest, bracing, anti-inflammatory medications, and exercises. Surgical intervention may be necessary if conservative treatments fail. Preventive measures, such as ergonomic practices and hand exercises, significantly reduce recurrence risks. Early medical advice is crucial for optimal recovery, emphasizing the importance of physical therapy in restoring function and preventing long-term complications.
