Pain will go away completely? I have thumbpain for 2 months.

I've been dealing with this type of pain for a couple weeks, and it kept getting worse and worse by the day. But as soon as I tried some mobility and strengthening exercises, I could feel an instant relief, as well as more mobility without pain. I don't actually know how I ended up with this type of pain, but I believe that it was a result of heavy deadlifting, benchpressing, and doing dumbbell rows and other pulling exercises which require the flexion of the wrist. I really appreciate your tips, thanks a lot. And keep up thee good work!

So glad to hear the exercises are helping! It is possible that those exercises may have overloaded the thumb tendons and caused this issue to develop. Once the area calms down, you might try re-introducing each of those exercises one at a time to see if you can figure out which one is irritating your thumb.

@zachgoestoeuro I had/ have DQ in both wrists, from throwing on the pottery wheel at my job. First, I had to quit throwing and show videos and do verbal explanations to students rather than demoing. After that, I cleared the DQ up in my left wrist with these exercises. Unfortunately, my right wrist was worse and kept returning, and I ended up eventually having a first compartment release two and a half months ago. When the surgeon got in there, she found that I had an anatomical variation where my tendon sheath is divided into sub compartments. From what I have read (published medical papers, and I'm an art teacher so take my understanding with a grain of salt) it seems like people who have this anatomical variation are both more likely to get DQ and more likely to be unable to "cure" it with physical therapy alone. Anyway, my left wrist did improve enough to where I have no more pain. I planned to do these exercises for about 5 minutes per wrist three times a day. However, I ended up doing more than that because sometimes if I was sitting watching TV or something else inactive I'd do more, in addition to what I had scheduled. I began to see results within days, although it took maybe two or three months before my left wrist was pain free. My right wrist is now pain free with surgery. The surgery was minimally painful- I'd say almost pain free. My right wrist took about two months to feel completely normal again. I hope this helps.

Thanks! Great help.

Thank you for this video! 6 months ago I suffered a significant tear to the APL, EPB tendons (about 50% torn). I did this by doing hammer curls with a weight that was simply to heavy. I didn’t notice any pain or anything until about 2-3 days after that workout when both wrists (thumb side) started to hurt. About a couple days after that, the right side formed a lump on the tendon and the sheath thickened and it has been stenosed ever since. For the last 6 months I have tried to limit any movement or exercise with a splint and it has done nothing to improve my condition. I am starting a completely different approach moving forward with 3 main areas of focus. 1. I am going to start these exercises and once most of the pain has subsided, I will start to slowly load the tendon. I’m going to train 2-3 times a week with 48 hrs between each session. 2. I am going to use high doses of gelatin before my thumb training sessions to encourage nutrient absorption. 3. I’m going to get 7-8 hours of high quality sleep. Sleep is so crucial.

Dequervains Dequervains is something that can really take a toll on someone’s life. Someone suffering from this condition likely thinks about it nonstop until they feel surgery is their only option. Personally I do not feel surgical intervention is appropriate in majority of cases which is why I am posting this. If you feel like you are out of options I suggest you let me try and persuade you against it. The proposed gold standard treatment for Dequervains consists of splinting the wrist and thumb for 6-8 weeks. This helps with the pain but fails to heal the tendon and restore range of motion. Resting the tendon even longer only makes this condition worse by further weakening and degrading the tendon. Splinting the area should only be done immediately after injury to help eliminate pain and further significant damage. If you have been looking for the answer, here it is: If your condition is like mine, there is a significant stenosis of the tendon. This means that the thumb cannot bend because of a bump or “nodule” that gets stuck when you try to bend it. This is simply a small area of the inflamed tendon. The cure for this is to load the tendon, (yes, I said load the tendon). Physically loading the tendon puts stress on the tendon which initiates the healing and strengthening process. How to load the tendon: Make a fist and hold it out in front you like you are holding a drink, this is position your wrist should be in when you load it. Grab a light dumbbell or resistance band and hold this position for 60 seconds. You should feel pain and discomfort, this is normal and it is necessary for progress. After the 60 seconds is up, and after the weight is removed the tendon should feel a bit warmer and more free. Repeat this process 5-6 times. Each time allowing the wrist to bend slightly more, allowing the weight to gently pull on but not overly stretch the tendon. This is what we call isometric exercise. Make sure you know how to properly do an isometric hold. It will be slightly uncomfortable, this is normal. Eventually, the tendon bump or “nodule” will start to pop or “catch” when you start to move the thumb. That means you have done it correctly. The tendon is now warmed up and has been stressed effectively. You can use a heavier weight if you feel comfortable doing so. Results: After 1-2 months of doing this I have improved significantly and I can use significantly heavier weight than what I started with. The trick is to not move too fast and damage the tendon again. This process will take months. The body will heal but it needs a stimulus, (the weight) nutrients, (lots of protein/collagen) and rest, 2-3 days rest after exercise and 7-8hrs of sleep at night. When you first start training the tendon again, you can also grab a rubber band and place it around your fingers and try to spread them apart gently. Once you have opened the rubber band as far as you can, hold it for 45-60 seconds. This will also help load and strengthen the tendon.

Thank you 🎩🙏🤗

Gel creams don't tend to make much of a difference, so you might want to save your money. If you get desperate, it doesn't hurt to try one, but I would probably start with ice or heat to help reduce pain.@@jennygibson635

The Dr. I saw regarding my wrist pain nailed it immediately with his diagnosis but after a steroid injection, a month later the pain and swelling returned. He did not off PT, only surgery. I'm skeptical of just "having surgery " to fix this problem before at least trying PT. Your thoughts?

I would very much recommend pursuing rehab for 12-16 weeks before jumping into surgery. Besides the exercises shown in this video, splinting and behavior modification can be quite helpful. If you can find a hand therapist in your area, this would be a great resource for you. Look for a physical therapist or occupational therapist with the letters ‘CHT’ after their name as this designates that they are a certified hand therapist.

@RehabScience ok, thank you for the advice. The Physician I saw was a Hand Specialist but, I had already decided to seek a 2nd or 3rd opinion before committing to a surgical procedure. I guess I'm just overly cautious before letting someone cut into me and possibly having problems later on. It took me a year to agree to cataract surgery, lol. I just kept thinking, it's my VISION, I won't get it back if the Opthamologist messes up. It will just be gone forever.

Something I have been thinking about lately that’s about how the whole body is connected, I have one leg longer than the other (which apparently is corrected through intense stretching and asymetric exercises) but I have gotten to the point where I always have upper back pain and shoulder/neck pain, and come to find out. The tendons in your arm are connected to your neck and shoulder. It all influences your body from your foundation. So maybe there’s other areas you can improve on too, like me?

If you can perform these movements with mild or less pain, then they are usually fine to do. If more pain than this is experienced, then you likely need to give the area more time to calm down.

I suffered from de quervain for over a year. Did my 2nd corrisone injection last week. After 7!days I regained normal mobility, but the next day I started feeling light pain again, it’s a devolution I guess… When should I start doing physio after getting an injection? Should I start now or wait? The doctor that injected me said that for 2 weeks I should have my thumb always immobilized, so I don’t know what to do…

Is wearing a wrist thumb brace good or bad for this then?

@RehabScience

Ай бұрын

A brace like that during provocative activities that you might need to accomplish throughout the day can help reduce tendon irritation. However, you wouldn’t want to wear it all the time as it could lead to tendon deconditioning and muscle weakness.

I am glad to hear the exercise helped you. Resistance training exercises like these have some of the best evidence for treating tendon problems. Chiropractic interventions can help with acute pain, but they don’t have the same level of evidence as exercise. If your pain is doing much better, you probably don’t need to visit the chiropractor.

3:17 my wrist wont even move at all doing this.

Hi, I have that condition. upon thumb extension, I am unable to move it all the way because it feels something is "blocking/limiting" - that limitation is not really pain, but if I try harder of course there's gonna be pain -- my question is DO I HAVE TO FORCE IT TO EXTEND EVEN IF THERE"S A "BLOCKING" SENSATION? OR JUST TO WHERE TO THE POINT OF LIMITATION?

@RehabScience

11 ай бұрын

I would go just to the point of limitation. You could use the other hand to help the thumb gain passive mobility. Sometimes, once passive mobility is improved, then active mobility will also improve.

@RehabScience

These exercises will help reduce pain and build capacity in the thumb tendons, which should reduce the odds that the condition returns. However, your profession is obviously more demanding in terms of the stress placed on the these tendons, so it may be something that has a tendency to return. I would try to continue performing these exercises 2-3 times per week even when your pain is gone to help keep the tendons strong.

I have this. I've also noticed I have a lot of cracking and popping in my wrist. I really hear it when I do the exercise where you aim your the thumb down and then slowly point your hand down (I think it's the 4th exercise). Is that normal? I don't have pain when it pops or cracks. Should I not do these or just be mindful?

this first exercise is very painful...is it normal??

The best solution is to strengthen the muscles and tendons (make them more resilient) and avoid repetitive movements that aggravate the area. Surgical procedures can be utilized if you don’t improve with conservative strategies.
