Thanks! Holding a 200 gm smartphone for 2 hours watching a movie, and after few months I have this pain at the base of my left thumb! Earlier phones were lighter with 3-4G. The 5 g phones with 4000 or larger mAh batteries caused this new problem!

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 just come across your video and i'm pleased that i have. 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.

This is a great post. I have what the orthopedic doc called CMC Arlthritis, a very common location of arthritis. I'm a retired orchestra teacher and I think the pinching of my right hand, tuning thousands of violins was the nail in my coffin! My primary care doc called it tendinitis and prescribed motrin. Ugh. A year later an orthopedic triage doc took an xray and immediately diagnosed it as CMC arthritis. He gave me a steroid injection. The pain relief lasted about 2 weeks. I've not had another injection. I purchased a "push" brace which amazingly helps the pain by keeping the joint in tight. I'm a pianist and can play even while wearing the brace. But, I'm thinking it's only delaying the inevitable- surgery where they remove the trapezius bone. That option honestly scares me. This video presents the idea of adjusting the shape of the palm by stretching the muscles and flattening the palm. I've performed the first two exercises on this video for 2 days and already am sensing some relief. I have 2 questions: 1. Is it possible that the pain is mostly from my palm changing it's shape, and if I can return the shape to it's original flat shape, the pain will subside? 2. I haven't tried the third idea in this video, that of taping the joint as you've demonstrated. Will that serve my joint as my "Push" brace and relieve even more pain? Thanks so much.

@painfixprotocol 3 месяца назад

I'm so glad you're getting some relief for this! Unfortunately, without a physical examination, I am not able to say what is causing/ contributing to your pain. Properly applied Rock Tape can help increase stability around a joint and provide some pain relief too - It's a really useful strategy.

My mother is near to 70 age. She have a pain in thumb lower side due to fell down. Doctor suggested her to wear thumb splint. My mother tried it yesterday. But I think her vains are so weak that couldn't bear tightness and thumb turned into blue. Means blood circulation due to tightness was not working properly. And doctor advised her that her thumb should be straight every time. What to do. Please suggest

@germanshepherdlover2613 24 дня назад

You mentioned "Degenerative non-inflammatory osteoarthritis of the thumb". Isn't all osteoarthritis inflammatory...especially during a flare up? Or did you mean that these exercises are for osteoarthritis but not rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune types? Good exercises here. My basal thumb arthritis was following trauma, a heavy fall on both hands, pain developed a couple of weeks later and progressed from there. X-ray just showed moderate arthritic changes cmc and stt joints. That was over 5 years ago. I am a pianist so surgery of the hand terrifies me. If I went ahead with surgery it would have to be the least invasive procedure. I will try these exercises, I am having a flare up at the moment following lots of work and activities involving gripping. Hopefully these exercises will help somewhat.

@painfixprotocol 20 дней назад

Good question. You are correct that these exercises are specifically for osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is non-inflammatory and it differs significantly from the inflammatory arthritides (like Rheumatoid or Psoriatic - autoimmune-related). The recommendations for those conditions are different. You might also find these two videos on hand health interesting: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-h8bUdYfA-nc.html and ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-y-lEqTiUo8M.html

Hi, I have pain in both areas of the thumb. I also have "squaring" on my right hand so it's progressed pretty far. Can this 3 stage plan help someone who is in the advanced stages? I'm going to buy some rock tape today and try the first, easier taping strategy on my hand. You do a really good job of explaining how to do everything!!

Thanks for your kind words! Without an examination, it would be difficult to provide an accurate prognosis. However, almost everyone can improve their situation with a few simple daily practices performed consistently over time.

I watched the interesting video. 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. Will these exercises be helpful Or Do I need to see any other video also, of yours in addition to this video?

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.

My dr here tells me i have just live with it it affects my quality of life.

@jasonbelcourt8354 6 месяцев назад

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 6 месяцев назад

Finally, do you have tips to address the root cause of the pain (a lot of the times at the shoulder girdle/ upper spine)?

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 3 года назад

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).

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.

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!

It's an important point - the tape itself is not therapeutic. All of the benefit comes from the location and way in which it is applied. Tape application is a learned skill - it takes practice. You might also consider seeing a Rock Tape certified practitioner in your area who could go through it with you one-on-one.

For acute injuries, light therapy can be very beneficial for both symptom relief and accelerating the healing process - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QOF5oqZsY04.html Rock Tape is also helpful for relieving swelling quickly.

What about pain and swelling on the thumb?

@painfixprotocol 6 месяцев назад

Good question, Dina. Treatment will depend on the source of that pain & swelling and whether it's acute or chronic.

What are other alternatives of tennis ball and that sticker?

@painfixprotocol 26 дней назад

Those are the two I usually start with. Perhaps I'll make another video on this topic with other strategies.

@effthegop 8 месяцев назад

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.

@painfixprotocol 8 месяцев назад

I'm glad you were able to take something away from this video. I think you'll find the stretching technique to be quite a bit more effective than rubbing the sore joint.

@morrielouden 10 месяцев назад

Wow! I can't believe the tennis ball exercise! My thumb muscle is so incredibly sore! I never really noticed that . I can't help but think this is going start to relieve that area of my thumb. I've had two rounds of cortisone shots and they are no longer working. I've got the rock tape on now. I'm a professional upright bassist. You can see me perform right here on my page. I'm going to keep doing all three of the procedures (exercises) that you suggest. Thank you!!!

@painfixprotocol 10 месяцев назад

@bonniethielmier5121 7 месяцев назад

Is it possible to use both Rock tape applications?? I have pain in both areas. I've applied the first technique and it works great but have pain in my thumb.

@painfixprotocol 7 месяцев назад

Yes, Bonnie! You can absolutely use both applications at the same time. So glad the 1st technique is helping you!

@garnetbarkley7482 8 месяцев назад

Can you get the tape wet?. How long doyou wear the tape.. 24 hours or only a portion of the day?

@painfixprotocol 8 месяцев назад

When applied properly, Rock Tape can stay on for 3-4 days. It can get wet but the more often that happens the weaker the application tends to become.

@bennaodedrapinder6186 6 месяцев назад

Where can you get the tape. Is it special tape

@painfixprotocol 6 месяцев назад

Yes, it's a specific kind of tape. Here's the link: amzn.to/3V3ayBJ

I have no cartilage left in the BL CMC joints and a bone spur on the right hand. I take Meloxicam daily but it is not working well. They are suggesting surgery. Not sure the exercises will help.

@painfixprotocol 8 месяцев назад

Sorry to hear that! I know how painful bone spurs can be. Best of luck with your recovery!

❤ hi I have a pain on my on my fingering and fingering pinky finger going down to wrist I went to emergency and they told me that it is Carpal tunnel they just gave me splint and drink Tylenol but t up to now it's painful

@painfixprotocol 6 месяцев назад

Sorry to hear about your pain, Remy. Carpal tunnel doesn't typically affect the pinky side of the hand. So, I would strongly recommend getting a second opinion and an accurate diagnosis.

Yes, absolutely. Both tape applications can be used simultaneously.

@mrkoolio4475 11 месяцев назад

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?

@painfixprotocol 11 месяцев назад

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 - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QOF5oqZsY04.html

@chrispacker1004 8 месяцев назад

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

@painfixprotocol 8 месяцев назад

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.

@chrispacker1004 8 месяцев назад

Thank you 👍
