    I’ve had pain in my lower thumb for many weeks after landing badly on my hand. I came across your video.. and I didn’t have a tennis ball to hand m, but I pressed the fatty part of my palm onto a the ball of a back massager I had - and the pain is almost gone after one try! I hope it gets 100% better. Thank you!

    Thanks, @Dr. Yoni Whitten! As both a licensed massage therapist, a performing musician (drummer) and master craftsman, aches and pains in my MCP and CMC joints are causes for both concern and, occasionally, a good deal of anxiety. (As such, these exercises and taping instructions are especially helpful tonight, when one of my MCPs is recovering from yesterday’s busy MT schedule) Again, thanks!!!

I have Osteoarthritis over many parts of my body and i take a lot of medication for it, however it doesn't seem to help at all with both of my thumb joints and a specialist is now talking about removing the thumb joints but said that i will still have pain! Nobody has ever mentioned exercises or taping of either my thumb and wrist joints. I am definitely ready to give this a go as it is so debilitating to have chronic pain especially in your hands. Thank you so much for the information and i will come back to you to let you know if it helped. Shirley from the UK.

    Two questions… How often do you do the tennis ball and wall exercises? And I am assuming you can perform these two exercises while the thumb is taped, correct?

    • @painfixprotocol

      Yes. The exercises can be performed with tape applied. The exercises are typically performed 1-2 times per day.

    As always, I greatly appreciate your thorough explanations.
    I have pain in both spots that you showed. Should I alternate a couple of days to one spot and a couple to the other?
    Furthermore, I'm a movement instructor, so I move quite a bit and don't have any restrictions in mobility, just pain... Should I check anything else?
    Finally, do you have tips to address the root cause of the pain (a lot of the times at the shoulder girdle/ upper spine)?

    • @painfixprotocol
      @painfixprotocol  Před rokem +2

      You're very welcome, Galit! Rather then alternating back and forth, I tend to focus on 1 area exclusively for a period of time. Only when that area is under control will I branch out to a second area.

    Thank you Doc! I have bad pain in the right thumb joint near the wrist, but it is closer to the inside of the fatty part of the hand. It is always sharp as hell and gets very restrictive with what I can do. Thumb braces don't seem to help. Adduction is hard to do and often causes it to happen in the first place. I never thought of using the tape. I think I'll try that. Thank you for your video! I do try to abduct it the best way I can with my other hand but it gets tricky to do. I think those exercises can help, too. But it is quite a lot of pain.

    I am 64+ Years age. About 4 months back I started feeling pain in lower part of thumbs of both my hands during opening or closing of bottle cover by rotation. Even during putting eye drops when I press little tiny plastic bottle by my thumb and my forefinger, I feel pain at root of my thumb.
    I had also started feeling pain below inner ankles of both of my feet around same time about 4 months back.
    I had started watching your video primarily for thumb. But mentioned ankles problem also for wider perspective.

    I bought some Rock Tape, but it is in the form of a roll of tape, versus smaller patches like you asked in this video.
    I am in need of correcting my thumb position as it is not possible now for me to straighten out my thumb due to the osteoarthritis....years of gripping and pulling with dental instruments is the main contributor to this problem. How can I get the smaller pieces of tape as you demonstrated with in the video?

    • @painfixprotocol
      @painfixprotocol  Před 3 lety +3

      Hi Gail, Sorry I should have explained that the Rock Tape will come in a roll and it's up to the individual to cut it to the right size for their application (and body size). Once you have a good pair of scissors and practice a little it ends up being much better this way b/c the roll lasts a lot longer than the pre-cut strips (which never seem to be the right length).

    @jasonbelcourt8354 Před 3 měsíci +1

    I like these exercises, they help me alot! I have a question. The reason for these exercises is to push the muscle from lower thumb outwards to prevent it from pushing inwards. The two thumb braces that I have tried pushes the hand along with the thumb muscle inwards. Are these braces not good?

    • @painfixprotocol

    How is rock tape different than kinesio tape? I have pain in both areas, would you apply the tape at two different times or both at the same time? Also mine tends to be neuropathic pain and I drop things all the time because I can't hold on to them.

    • @painfixprotocol
      @painfixprotocol  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Good question. They are both kinesiology tape, they cost the same but Rock Tape is more flexible and stays on much longer - more bang for your buck. Taping multiple locations at the same time is just fine. Hope it helps!

    @evanfreeman404 Před 5 měsíci

    So I have had pain In my right thumb in the spot you mentioned (closer to the wrist). This has not been gradual though. I injured my thumb a few months ago. I assumed I broke it and I didn’t get an X-ray or anything. I’ve broke a lot of fingers in my life. But this pain never went away. It hurts to try to spread my fingers out as much as possible and it hurts randomly when I do activities. Some simple like putting on tight gloves. Some more random movements I can’t replicate. It almost feels like something is catching inside my thumb then releasing. I’m not sure what it is but I don’t think arthritis is caused by an injury is it?

    • @painfixprotocol
      @painfixprotocol  Před 5 měsíci

    Well, this was a great video! I'm too lazy to do any taping. I'm old and stubborn so I will simply continue to do construction work, play drums and rub my sore MFJ :)
    I will however stretch it out.

    Thank you my friend I am the typical 60 year old guy who always played through pain and my hands been bothering me for about five years now because I work at a desk all day so when I get home I do a lot of woodworking and it’s all hand work and my thumb just hurt all the time and I’ve just got used to it and then I thought I bet there’s some bright young people out there who have figured out how to fix this and so I saw your video in another gentleman between the two of your videos are you both had some great ideas I especially love the tennis ball idea I’ve tried that myself actually I use my fist put my thumb on my fist and push down and wow that is some fun pain I Telya but it does loosen it up but I especially like the stretches on the tape idea do you recommend ice at all?

      I'm glad this was helpful for you, Mr. Koolio! I almost never use ice - and instead use light therapy which has many of the same benefits of ice, with none of the downside. Here's a video where I go into that - czcams.com/video/QOF5oqZsY04/video.html

    Hi, I am somewhat confused, perhaps someone can advise me concerning the following. Having looked at this video on pain relief, for the arthritis at the base of the thumb. I suffer this problem in both hands. Now the presenter of this video said that he would leave the description for the Rock tape, “down in the description.” I have often heard this phrase where more details will be down in the description. I am using an iPad and I have never been able to find this “down there in the description” place. Can someone advise me how to get there. Thanks

    Is the tape bought in a roll only? I presume if so you just cut to shape for thumbs?

    • @painfixprotocol

      That's exactly right. There are so many different applications for Rock Tape, the best thing is to buy the roll and trim to the shape and size you need.

      Dupuytren's contracture is an extremely difficult condition to work with. Unfortunately, there aren't any proven ways to prevent Dupuytren's disease or limit its progress.

      Sorry to hear about your challenges. The cure for thumb pain will differ depending on the issue or issues that are causing the pain. Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that may help reduce pain and inflammation. However, as with all drugs, the risk to benefit ration must be assessed for the individual in question.

    i injured my left thumb 6 weeks ago and it still hurts i was pumping out dry cement and the hose kicked back and hit my thumb and it punched it hard the pain has been mild but today it hurts so bad that my head hurts also i think i re irritated it two days ago i had to empty out a cement hose that was clogged and it was very heavy which i used both hands to do the job, maybe there is some internal injury. It does feel hot to the touch and it looks swollen. It's been hot to the touch and swollen now for 6 weeks i thought it would have healed by now. not sure what to do for it.
