Patient presents with complaints of right wrist pain, consistent with right wrist tendonitis. Symptoms include pain, tenderness, and swelling along the affected tendons on the radial or ulnar side of the wrist. Onset of symptoms was gradual and exacerbated by repetitive movements such as typing, lifting, or gripping. Patient reports difficulty with activities of daily living involving wrist flexion, extension, and rotation. Physical examination reveals localized tenderness to palpation over the affected tendons, possibly including the extensor carpi radialis brevis, extensor carpi ulnaris, or flexor carpi ulnaris. Pain is reproduced with resisted wrist movement. No crepitus or instability noted. Differential diagnosis includes De Quervain's tenosynovitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and wrist sprain. Assessment: Right wrist tendonitis (ICD-10 M77.11). Plan: Conservative management including rest, ice, compression, elevation (RICE), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, and activity modification. Patient education provided on proper wrist ergonomics and avoiding aggravating activities. Referral to occupational therapy or physical therapy for wrist strengthening and stretching exercises will be considered if symptoms persist. Follow-up scheduled in two weeks to assess response to treatment.
