Wrist Hurts: massage De Quervain's Tenosynovitis for relief. 

More info on DQT and how to bring relief www.hollandreflexology.com/massage-de-quervains-tenosynovitis-for-pain-relief/

I confirm that I have this problem on my wrist by doing the test, looking at how the massage is being done makes me think twice to try it, LOL. I cant describe the pain and only us who suffers this issue can tell how it really hurts.

RU-vid is very useful for these kind of situations, very well explained, I’m right handed so I couldn’t chop it off it hurt so much, I used an ice pack and a frozen ball bearing to do those massages, the relief was amazing, Thankyou so much! 🙏🏽🙏🏽😢

I'm impressed. I tried to self massage while viewing the video. Immediately wrist feels freer and lighter. I will try to incorporate the massage into my day. Admit I am guilty of ignoring previous flare ups. No more.

I'm a Bowler in leagues and man this pain in my thumb/wrist is Exactly this!!! Very helpful video.

Extremely helpful. Thanks to your video, and the Finkelstein Test, I diagnosed myself. I did what your video explains, have stretched my tendons and have given myself relief. Thank you a million times over.

This made me wish so bad that that hand you were working on was mine!

Idk how many youtube videos I've done with really not many change with my thumb and wrist but with this one, wow! I had relief in 3days the pain and discomfort almost feels like its gone. I'm so glad I ran into this video and you sharing it, thank you! Update: All my pain has went away. Took 5 weeks.

I’m a massage therapist and I was very worried with the beginning stage of this disorder. These helped me a lot! Thanks so much! (It was from carrying my table on mobile calls etc, not from massage itself…

WOW....I have a watched a ton of DQT videos and this has to be the best one I have seen. A lot of other videos will tell me to massage my forearm or twist my elbows while having my hand flat on the ground, but this seems to be the most effective for my specific DQT symptoms

Yes. I performed your test. Nothing happened. I’m still doing your therapy. As demonstrators. It releases the pain. Thank you for your video. It is very informative.

Thank you SO SO much for this video, one of the best massage showcases, other videos (not to blame them) just show 3 simple exercises but they don't really go "in depth" with the soft tissue massage etc. Trying it asap. Thanks once again.

thanks for the drawing! I enjoyed how informative this was.

thank you for sharing your expertise....doing my best to avoid surgery and I believe these massages will help me greatly....

You are best !!! Wanted to find XFF for De Quervain and found such a great Tx!❤

I have watched EVERY DQT youtube video and THIS IS HANDS DOWN (er I mean thumbs, wrist...) the best. Everyone else talks about massage, shows massage, but never explains how correct massage is key. They may say it stretches the tendons, but nothing about the sheath and the core of this syndrome, or working the area to encourage the tendons to recoil and play nice again. 🥰. Seriously I assumed the massage was to help me COPE with the pain. I now know done successfully, it can correct the DQT. Truly GRATEFUL having watched and learned from you. PS. I think I obtained DQT from yard work. Hours of ZT mowers that have steering handles between your legs that require constant slight correction attention using thumbs/wrist. And miles of gas powered weed eater that vibrates even your teeth. Arrrgh. Can I continue during treating the pain, IF I wear a wrist support? Something that keeps my thumb in position?

Thank you Doug. I started suffering this last year in August saw a hand therapist who diagnosed it and made up a splint. The problem was that after session after session there was not alot of treatment progress. The cost and not moving forward I just rested it for ages and finally it started to improve I thought. But anytime it was pressed to work as in raking, whipper snipping and putting horse rugs on it would become sore. August this year I think it had had enough of and now I am back at square one. Decided to see a physio again treatment after treatment, the cost is prohibative. I went to an acupuncturist last week, finally I felt some relieve. Currently I have the splint on but now I will gradually follow your advice. And then gradually build the strength back. I looked at whipper snipping today and although the hand therapist said I could do it with the splint on once I looked at the movement and the weight my left hand has to carry I will hold off .. Once again good solid sound advice thankyou.

I can't thank you enough for helping with this video. I have been in pain since the middle of August as a residential gardener who made bouquets for two solid days for a client. Very little Healthcare or physio available due to covid. My son helped me with some of the massage moves and it already feels better after 1 treatment. You may have saved my job and my home. Thank you for sharing your knowledge

Thank you for this! Helped tremendously!

Well explained!! The best! I will watch and follow the instructions. Looking forward to it!

That was an awesome demo, anatomy illustration, and explanation. Will be coming back to watch this video again. I tried the techniques on myself and I feel much looser in my wrist.Thank you!

Thank you very much for the video. It’s very informative

Thank you so much for this video!! I got this from having a bent wrist constantly from breastfeeding and 9 months later it hasn’t gotten much better and hopeful this will help!

Thank you so much.....I'm doing to myself. DQT indeed very painful

I did the massage myself and it helped so much!!!! Thank you

I'm a barista and this definitely helped!

Tbh I woke up one morning with severe wrist pain. I brushed it off cause you know I thought to myself “well maybe I just slept on it” . So letting it heal on its own was the path I chose to recovery. When I looked into this I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. All the symptoms were so similar. I immediately started doing some exercises and bam 4 weeks later I recovered. Take note I started doing the exercises after two weeks in of pain 😭😭😭

Excellent video for DQT remedial treatment

I have a Quervian’s about one week ago and and support my wrist and thumb with supporter, I remove it and do this massage with you on watching your video and I am surprised that the pain is relieved, thanks too much for your effort

These massage techniques were soooo effective thank uuuu 🙏🏼

My injury is from falling on my hand years ago. It took a while to heal. It's been hurting on and off nowadays. Mostly when I'm doing pushups. I ended up buying a push-up device that aids in arm and wrist pain. But lately the pain has been unbearable. Especially today. Couldn't even lift a plate. This instructional video really helped. Thank you.

Thank you. It has been very helpful to me.

I went to urgent care because the pain was so bad. They said I have a little arthritis. Ugh! Telemedicine call with GP 2 days later and he recommended a thumb splint, which helps a lot but certain movements still cause excruciating pain. Saw him in office a couple of weeks later and he put me on anti inflammatory meds and was impressed that I had identified my problem as DQT. These massages definitely work the right area for me. I have to be really gentle though. Thanks for this video!

I've had this for a year. GP did nothing but send me for xrays although I told them what I had. The pain is excruciating and prevent me from working effectively (Sport therapist) I've just been referred for a thumb spica. This video had been so helpful. Thank you

This is good information, the sad fact is if you don't have someone to help massage you, you won't really get anywhere. Having NO1 and being very skinny it is hard to do these efficiently sadly 😢

Thanks very much for the video I haven't been to see a doctor yet but I'm pretty sure that I have dqv by the way your describing the symptoms and mine are the same. Can you please tell me what other exercises I could do on my own just to try and ease the pain. Many thanks for great video

Thanks for your advice

GreaT! Im an MT and im struggling so this should help

Very well explained...thank you so much...im going to try these massages...coz im suffering from this issue for atleast 4 months now..... I'll definitely come back after a while and tell you whether I've got relief or not....but thanks so much for the explanation once again

Really very useful massages, i have this tendón disease greatings from Peru

Anyone here work in the dental field? I’ve had symptoms for a month, and this massage provided great relief!

I found the pain in my thumb when I did the massage! I think it's gonna work! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing I have the DQT too

Medical miracle..❤

Any vids for guitarists with pain / inflammation on the inner side of the wrist of the fret hand? Great video btw

Thanks doctor

It's been over 2 years now since I was diagnosed with this. I no longer have pain but even using the computer mouse to simply browse the internet causes dull pain and discomfort, which gets gradually worse until I stop. Should I consider surgery?

thank you so much

Thank you so much Great video

Thanks for the info. I have a question does bruising usually accompany one of the symptoms. Sometime my thumb won't be swollen but it appears to be bruised.

I was watching this with no sound at first..that hand gesture had me like am I watching the right video 🤭😂😂

This video had been so so so helpful . Thank you very much (cam on ban ) 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😇😇😇👍👍👍🥳🥳🥳

Great great video. Do you think Voltaren Gel would help w inflammation. Although the exercises seems to be helpful but I can’t do this then on my self. Should I see a hand specialist Dr to get this kind of exercises?

Great video! Thank you! Are there strengthening exercises you recommend? I’m a henna and lettering artist and my tendonitis keeps coming back, I just want to be able to use my hand without the pain reoccurring.

The best exercises ever. Thx a million

You’re the best

Yes!! I did the hand thumb excercise.. And its excruciating! I cant do it. 😢 could a previous stint with trigger finger in the thumb possibly of contributed to this wrist/tendon pain?

Best video very clearly explained i hv been suffering mommy's thumb for the past three months i will try this asap hope this helps

Awesome!!!!

Very helpful ,Ramesh Trinidad

0:25 Internet ruined my mind.

Hi, Just found your video. Can't do all them on my own. Which one's would you suggest I do on myself?

Very helpful for us serious bowlers.... any advice. Any Bowling Professionals with advice to avoid/rid this condition. My first time feeling this pain Ever and been bowling for years now...

For the soreness should you add ice?

When should I go see a doctor about the pain in my wrist? Should I try wearing a brace for a few weeks first? I just started back up college classes so I’m writing a lot more now.

Thank you for these videos. I have been diagnosed with dequervains. I am also a LMT for 34 years. I fell on my wrist riding my unicycle 3 months ago. I had a steroid injection 3 weeks ago and have had no relief from the pain. I have been doing self massage , seeing a PT, and all that I can find on the internet to help heal this. Wearing braces, etc. I am supposed to have surgery in 1 week and I don't want to but the pain hasn't eased up. Do you think it is wise to wait a while for before having surgery, have another steroid injection? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for this video! I’ve just had DQT happen to me for about a week now and it seemed to be improving with just stretching and a natural anti inflammatory cream for soft tissues… it only hurts like hell first thing in the morning. Decided to get a wrist splint and after wearing it for a few hours (out and about and then when I’m sleeping)… but when I take it off it’s soooo stiff and hurts even more. I’m wondering if I should even bother wearing the splint?

It's hard doing this by myself doc. I need for you to come over and I'll by you lunch 🤓

Its Ok, if i doing this everyday? And how many times in a day?

😢thank u

I've tried a couple of videos and did this along with you..albeit somewhat difficult to do alone....but do you suggest icing at all? Ibuprofen?

I literally thought I tore something in my wrist until I found this video. Definitely use lots of ice

What do you recommend doing for somebody that has wrist tendonitis?

I was diagnosed with this yesterday I just tried some of your massage techniques and I feel relief…😮 Do you know if right knee pain is related? I went to an acupuncturist and she mentioned right knee and left wrist are related…🤔 After I tried the massage I could do (my left wrist is the one hurting) I feel like my right knee also felt better.

I'm gonna try self-massage / self-physio exercises for a month or so then cave in and go to a doctor for a corticosteroid shot ... Do your patients usually go in for massage in lieu of the corticosteroid shot, or do they do both?

I have this issue right it’s real painful thanks a lot

Wow, thank you! I'm a woodworker, using power tools daily, which I love but not so much the pain. These stretches and massages really help alleviate the constant pain I've been having in my wrists and hands/thumbs! 👍🏽+subscribed Can't wait to check out your other helpful vids! 🙏🏽

Thank you for sharing. Suffering for 3 weeks with this. This was amazing and has helped tremendously over night. Would you suggest using tape during the day for activities?

Would love to see a video of self massage. Guitar player asking for a guitar playing friend. ;-)

I can't seem to reach the areas with my left hand, to do the walking massaging, etc. as it's on my right wrist. I wish I has a PT friend to help me.

I have lived with this problem for a decade and was considering surgery, I really hope there is a fix without it though. Will any massage therapist know how to do this or is there a kind of specialist to look for?

My both wrist feel pain when i do the stretching..

I had the de quervains release surgery on both wrists many years ago

Thanks dude, immediate relief massaging myself. Much appreciated!

Ben dün yaptım gösterdiğiniz hareketleri gerçekten elimi kapatamiyirdum sinir sıkışması vardı amaliyat dediler olmadım ellerimi kapatabiliyirum ve ağrım kalmadı sinir sıkışması ellerde hareket gösterebilir misin çok teşekkür ediyorum 🤲 size

Please share self massage techniques I don't have assistance

Me gustó mucho este video,lástima por que no entiendo lo que dice,soy de México y no hablo español y me duele mucho mi mano pero no puedo salir por lo del Coronavirus y m mandaron desinflamatorios 🙁

I need this!!!! I know for a fact this would hurt but needs to be done because this is not it.

Can you show some exercises that I can do on myself?

If those muscles/tendons have essentially been injured, how does it help to keep pushing and twisting on it? How does that not hurt it further? For example, if we badly sprain an ankle, it gets wrapped up or casted and completely isolated for weeks to heal. Because I also see countless other medical people suggesting to ONLY rest for this affliction.

Thank you so much for this video ! Unfortunately, the huge pain I have, about 7 weeks later, is still at a 10, and maybe a 9 after I put it in the brace and go to sleep.... Does all this type of massage do good to my obviously, inflamed parts, and not make them more inflamed ? I know, it's been 3 years.... Hope you are still around ! Thanks again ! Fran Danco

I did the test and have no pain with that motion. I do have pain in both wrists by my thumbs and can't support my weight in push up position. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

6:00 massage starts👍👍👍

Thx

It works

When would surgery be necessary ?

Is it ok to ice the wrist after doing this massage or would that defeat the purpose? It feels better but it’s also very sore in some areas. Thanks!

Do you have any tips for someone who has Tenosynovitis on the opposite side of their wrists? I have it on my extensor ulnar tendon in both wrists and it’s so hard to find information for tenosynovitis in that side, all I can ever find is information for the more common thumb side

My hand doctor says there is no therapy for this syndrome. So glad to see that there is.

I wish i cld find a guy like this , i have base thumb pain & swelling ( gets worse with lots of txting ) Chiro i saw said i had - carpel tunnel ?! I dont agree !
