The Quervains tenosynovite cause: 

The cause of De Quervain's tenosynovitis is usually long-term overuse of the wrist and its anatomical structures.

Tendons are rope-like structures that attach legs to muscles. When you use your hand, for example for gripping movements, rubbing movements or the like, two tendons will normally slide nicely back and forth in a small 'tunnel' that connects the structures to the base of the thumb. Repetitive movements over a longer period of time can cause irritation of the wrap around these tendons and gradually lead to thickening and possible fluid accumulation - which in turn leads to reduced movement. Direct trauma may also be a cause of De Quervain's tenosynovitis.
