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.

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.

Thank you, Yoni! 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)?

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 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?

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).

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?

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.

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.

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 3 ай бұрын
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!

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.

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?

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

Taping is not typically a stand-alone strategy. It's one layer of a rehab program that can make people more comfortable and help accelerate recovery from physical medicine.

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. I think it needs ICE i do have Biofreeze but i don't know where i put it.
