Referred by my oncologist as I had suspected De Quervain’s, a side effect of aromatase inhibitors. Simon confirmed that it is De Q… He added ‘it’s not in the BNF [as a SE of AIs) but Mark keeps sending me patients with it! He went through the options and we agreed a cortisone shot there and then was preferred. A painful experience, as it was to the wrist, and Simon was very considerate and calming.
