Hand surgeon John M. Erickson, MD explains the phenomenon called “mommy’s wrist.”
“Mommy’s wrist” or “mommy’s thumb” is a condition that is officially called de Quervain’s tenosynovitis (or tendonitis). This is a type of tendonitis in the wrist whose nickname comes from the fact that the condition is common in caregivers of young children. The tendonitis causes pain on the thumb side of the wrist and is worse with movement of the thumb. Activities such as opening jars, turning door knobs, and lifting children can be difficult.
Symptoms arise from de Quervain’s tendonitis when there is irritation of the tendons that extend the thumb in their surrounding sheath at the wrist. Instead of gliding smoothly through the sheath, the abductor pollicis longus (APL) and extensor pollicis brevis (EPB) tendons can be swollen, irritated and painful. Certain movements of the thumb and wrist can be excruciating. People may feel a tender cyst or bump and notice swelling in this part of the wrist near the base of the thumb. Lifting objects, gripping, or pinching with the thumb often increases symptoms. Occasionally, a popping sensation is a problem.
The cause of de Quervain’s tendonitis is usually unknown, but symptoms can be brought on by starting a new activity. The condition is common in women, especially pregnant women and mothers of young children.
This type of tendonitis can be diagnosed by history and physical examination in the office. An x-ray can sometimes be helpful to rule-out other conditions, such as arthritis or a wrist fracture .
Finkelstein’s test can help confirm the diagnosis. During this exam test, the patient places their thumb into their palm and wraps/clasps their fingers around the thumb. The patient then moves their wrist in the direction towards their small finger, reproducing their pain (take care, this can be very painful to do!).
Fortunately, most people improve with time and never need surgery for de Quervain’s tendonitis. Therefore, non-surgical treatment is tried first for most people. Treatment is aimed at reducing pain and improving function. Options can include:
If these measures fail to improve the symptoms, surgery may be offered and is typically curative.
Dr. John M. Erickson is a hand and upper extremity specialist at the Raleigh Hand Center. He trained in orthopedic surgery at the University of Michigan and completed a hand surgery fellowship at Vanderbilt University.

A mom has shared a hilarious "contract" she found written by her oldest son and signed by her youngest.
In a viral post on Reddit , u/Phishstyxnkorn shared a photo of a handwritten note stating: "You agreed to play this game so if you get hurt, you cannot tell on me."
Underneath is a line signed by his younger sibling and the word "yes."
The post has received over 25,000 upvotes, with many Reddit users seemingly familiar with the scenario.
The top comment has racked up 2,000 likes and says: "You hear a scream, and then hushed whispering."
According to WebMD , there are health benefits to be gained from kids running, jumping, climbing and wrestling, such as helping them strengthen their bodies as their muscles and their lungs get a workout.
It can also help them release energy and get the hour of physical activity that doctors recommend for kids each day.
Pretending to fight can also help children learn important problem-solving skills.
For example, when kids shout things like "that's not fair!" or "time out!" it shows that they have expectations when they pretend to fight.
The American health and wellbeing website states play fighting works only because there's some level of turn-taking and cooperation involved.
Siblings playfighting may be concerning for parents who worry about their children getting hurt but it is a normal part of childhood, so it isn't surprising to see so many Redditors are familiar with the scenario.
User, TittyVonBoobenstein, said: "You hear a hushed but distinctly panicked 'you promised, you promised!!'"
Redditor, u/1m2c00l4u said: "IF YOU SAY A WORD YOU BETTER LAWYER UP B*TCH."
Another referred to little kids as the "most litigious" people in the world.
Older sibling, u/MatureUsername69 said: "And then the older one let's out a very forced laugh to try to get the other one to chill. Then you'll hear the older one say 'you can hit me in the same spot 3x as much' (70% success rate and it doesn't matter because they're small and weak). How do I know this? I'm the older one."
Sharing an experience, beerscotch said: "I once power bombed my younger brother on the lino. I wish I had a contract to protect me on that one."
Other users sarcastically wrote about the contract itself.
Redditor, Itsthenewvodka said: "It's like the contract I signed when I entered the U.S. Navy."
