To diagnose De Quervain's tendinosis, a physician may ask the patient to place his or her thumb against their hand, making a fist with their fingers closed over the thumb, and then bending the wrist toward the little finger. If the patient has De Quervain's tendinosis, this test is quite painful, causing tendon pain on the thumb side of the wrist.
