Well, I finally got my splint off (tendonitis in my right hand)- (also known as DeQuervain's disease). My doctor wants me to start physical therapy 3X/week to give my hand strength and movement again. We are not sure if DeQuervain's will return soon (he assured me it would some day!!). I have never had physical therapy before, and wanted to know what to expect in terms of things they may do, whether or not it is worthwhile, etc... Thanks M.Eagan (the walking Band-Aid)
