Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, entrepreneur Brittany Mahomes, are the proud parents of three children: daughter Sterling Skye, 5, son Patrick “Bronze” Lavon III, 3, and daughter Golden Raye, 16 months.
With a house full of young children and busy careers, both Patrick and Brittany are constantly on the move. Sadly, being so physically active also comes with injuries from time to time.
In a series of recent posts on her Instagram story, Brittany Mahomes vulnerably revealed she needed a medical brace for ongoing wrist pain. While her condition is common and treatable, it’s going to be a while before she feels back at optimal performance levels.
Even so, Brittany Mahomes isn’t ready to give up yet.
Brittany Mahomes Details Her Condition Known as ‘Mother’s Wrist’
Brittany Mahomes absolutely adores being a wife to NFL quarterback Patrick Mahomes and mother to their three children. However, motherhood also comes with injuries now and then.
“My workout yesterday before I finally decided to go to the doctor about my wrist ðµâð«,” the 30-year-old shared on her Instagram stories, featuring a rigorous exercise plan for the day.
However, things didn’t quite go according to plan. Mahomes adding a follow-up post on her stories, revealing she has De Quervain’s tenosynovitis, more commonly known as “Mother’s wrist.” She noted that she’d been struggling with wrist pain for a year and felt her condition worsening.
The Mayo Clinic defines De Quervain’s tenosynovitis as, “a painful condition that affects the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist. If you have de Quervain tenosynovitis, you typically feel pain when you turn your wrist, grip something or make a fist.”
The institution notes that lifting a child often exacerbates the condition, which is why it’s commonly known as “Mother’s wrist.” With three very small children, Brittany is often holding one of them in her arms.
For now, Brittany Mahomes will wear a wrist brace designed to help with the pain. And she’s continuing with a modified workout plan in the meantime.
The Mother of Three Previously Suffered a Broken Back
Wrist pain is challenging enough on its own for an active woman, but Brittany Mahomes also thoroughly understands the pain of a broken back.
“I’m doing great. I’m living my best life. My back is no longer broken, so that’s good,” she told E! News in 2024.
“I’m finally fully recovered and back to doing the things that I’ve always been able to do. I’m staying on top of my health,” she added, noting that she’s been working out in the gym whenever she can.
With three young children at home, both Patrick and Brittany Mahomes have plenty on their plates. The children keep them active, but they’re more than content to keep the number at three.
âNope, weâre done, weâre done for a while. Three. I mean, I feel like you can never say youâre done, but I think three is all I need,” Brittany shared with the WHOOP podcast.
Fans wish Brittany Mahomes the best during her recovery.
