ABSTRACT
De Quervain disease and carpal tunnel syndrome are major problems that occur after delivery. During pregnancy, hormone confusion readily causes inflammation of tendons ;furthermore, overuse of hands during care of other children contributes to symptom onset. We report four cases of de Quervain and carpal tunnel syndrome occurred after delivery. All patients were women, aged 33-39 years. All patients breast-fed after birth. One patient was diagnosed with de Quervain disease, two were diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome, and one was diagnosed with de Quervain disease accompanied by carpal tunnel syndrome. All patients received tokishakuyakusan ;thereafter, their pain decreased, but slight numbness from the carpal tunnel syndrome remained. Drugs that can be used during breastfeeding are limited ;however, tokishakuyakusan can be prescribed safely and effectively.
