dequervains tenosynovitus

I have been diagnosed with dequervains tenosynovitus. I have had this since 2006 and have tried physio and injections. I am now being referred to a surgeon. I am worried that because my wrist hurts when I do exercise that I will be unable to control my weight. Is there anything you can suggest as I may not be able to have the operation until Christmas this year?

I wish I had something to offer you that would allow you to continue as if nothing were wrong, but the treatment for this condition is immobilizing your wrist and thumb (probably not good with your exercises), avoiding repetitive thumb movements, ice/heat applied to your thumb and wrist and NSAIDS.

My daughter had this condition 2X and both times it was eliminated by hard casting it and it is totally gone.  May be worth exploring.  She was 15 and 16 @ the time.
