Priya Ali, a 28-year-old graphic designer...
Priya Ali, a 28-year-old graphic designer and freelance illustrator, had been experiencing a dull, persistent ache in her right wrist for over six months. The pain, which she initially dismissed as fatigue, had sharpened into a burning sensation that shot up her forearm, especially during long work sessions. She struggled to hold her stylus, and simple tasks like opening jars or typing emails became agonizing. An orthopedic specialist diagnosed her with De Quervain's tenosynovitis, an overuse injury from her repetitive drawing motions. The doctor recommended a corticosteroid injection to reduce inflammation in the tendon sheath. Priya was anxious about the needle but desperate for relief. The injection itself was a quick pinch, followed by a feeling of pressure. Within a week, the sharp pain had subsided dramatically. She combined this with physiotherapy exercises and ergonomic adjustments to her workspace. Emotionally, Priya went from feeling frustrated and fearing for her career to being hopeful and proactive. The procedure gave her the respite needed to heal properly and return to her passion without constant pain.
