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.

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.

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)?

[@painfixprotocol]

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.

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!!

[@painfixprotocol]

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.

[@drakeryou]

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]

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.

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]

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).

[@HellyeahGaming75]

Thanks I will try this as I have these symptoms...but also I think I've torn the tendon or ligaments under the base of the thumb nail Its a sharp kind of pain ,I play alot of video games with a controller and sometimes get a bit aggressive with movement .I took my sneaker off about a month ago with a weird grip and felt it tear .just wondering if I can tape that also somehow ,I did try with a thin peuce of tape while thumb was bent and put a bit of tension on it I just dont know if im doing it right...or weather it could be a more serious tendon tear that might need surgery or steroid injections ,any tips would be greatly appreciated thanks

[@painfixprotocol]

Wow - It would take quite a lot to tear a ligament or tendon while removing your own shoe! The first step here would be to see a qualified practitioner in your area and get an accurate diagnosis. Once you know what the problem is, you will know how to treat it.

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]

So glad this video was helpful for you, Jason! There are situations where a brace like that may be helpful and appropriate. But the ultimate goal should be restore normal structure & function.

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?

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]

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!

[@kans6]

Again Wow! After trying the first tape job at noon, by 9 pm that second area started aching, burning. I just put the second demo to work on my thumb. The first area still has pain so I assume I just got back and forth with taping?

[@painfixprotocol]

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.

[@evanfreeman404]

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]

Sorry to hear of your injury, Evan. Tissue injury can absolutely lead to arthritic changes / joint degeneration. I would suggest getting a thorough examination from a qualified practitioner in your area. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

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 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4CpZqKnj9iMZpY

Where we get that tape?

[@painfixprotocol]

ROCK TAPE is available here: amzn.to/3nnSb6u

[@chrispacker1004]

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.

WHAT ABOUT BONE-ON-BONE INFLAMITORY PAIN IN THE THUMB AREA?

[@painfixprotocol]

With really severe degeneration the approach would be different. This video has some information that may be helpful for you - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmnFhpePm6ZgpMU

Hi Doctor I'm from the Philippines. My right thumb was in pain for 3 months and I cannot straighten my thumb. When I forced my thumb to straighten it sounded crackling . I am 61 now . I am having a hard time writing , opening the door knob. Is there a medication for this? Thank you

[@painfixprotocol]

The first step would be to see a qualified practitioner in your area and get an accurate diagnosis. Once you have that information, you can come up with a treatment plan - which might include medication.

❤ 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]

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.
