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.

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.

Should we use the wrist actively or inactively… Orthopedics Specialist told me the first way, but actually not helping so just watched your nice video which makes more sense. Thanks in advance.

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.

@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.

Is it normal to have a pulling sensation in the hand, arm & shoulder with dequervain? I pulled a tendon very bad a few years ago and dr told me this is what it was but I ignored it. Once I started losing mobility in my hand and arm I went to a hand surgeon and they prescribed physiotherapy. I've been doing it for about a year now and it has helped with recovering some range of motion, but the pulling nerve problem is still there. Feels like a blood vessel being pinched somewhere. I have this constant pulling sensation in my hand up to my shoulder. And said hand tends to get cold very quickly. Also developed an irregular heartbeat and mild hypertension. All started after my thumb. Should I give the exercises more time? I feel like the nerve problem isn't going away though. There's a nerve right under my palm that's become very thin, they're barely visible. Just that hand.

How many reps can I do these exercises? For the tendon loading, should I increase more reps as I improve? Currently babying my left hand in case I injure it any further.

I did not feel pain when doing the de quervain's tenosynovitis test. I feel extreme soreness or sometimes pain in the meaty part near the thumb (Thenar muscle). The tightness often feels better after my husband massage that area by squeezing it. But its been a couple years now and it does not go away! Gripping anything feels so sore and its on both on my hands. I have been looking all over to find a solution but I'm feeling desperate! I can't even put a name to this condition. Help!!

And my thumb sometimes clicks if I move it in a certain direction. It doesn't make a sound but I mean clicks like it's stuck in a position and doesn't move smoothly to a different position...it..clicks into place? Lol that's the best way I can describe it

@@RehabScience Question for you please. Aside from the pain I feel when I move my thumb or wrist in certain ways, when I stretch my thumb out, I feel something popping near the base. Also when I twist my wrist, I feel something popping on the top side of my wrist. Is this common with this condition? I have had x-rays done and they are negative for any fractures or breaks. Thanks

Since the pain is so acute, you likely need to let it rest for a day or two and maybe consider adding ice or heat to calm the area down.

@@RehabScienceHello mate, update as promised. Pain seems to be gone. However, I do occasionally feel pain elsewhere now between the triangle webbing area between my thumb and index finger. I also sometimes feel as if the area just under my thumb joint/knuckle could be a bit sore on occasions, but it feels more like a scratch/burn compared with the original pain. But seeing as the above “pains" (mild, and I’m likely hyper-focused on my thumbs!) are in a completely different spot than the original pain, I think it's unrelated. Anyway, I was wondering if I need to keep doing these stretches for life or if I can stop them now? Thanks again.

It’s hard to say exactly what caused the numbness without evaluating you. It could be related to one of the nerves in your arm or a nerve in your neck.

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.

Usually, exercises that do not require strong gripping forces or the use of the thumb are fine to continue performing. This may mean modifying your upper body exercises to remove your thumb from the equation. Obviously, lower body exercises are typically fine.
