Thank you so much! I have been in so much pain for about 5 months now and my doctor had X-rays done and said, "No broken bones. It's just arthritis. Park of getting older." 😮 I just turned 51 and I am not handling my 50's very well at all. So to be that insensitive I went home in tears. I had never heard of Texting Thumb before. He sure as hell didn't consider it. But I had a feeling my thumb pain had something to do with my cell phone use (abuse I should say). I will not accept the diagnosis that I'm just getting old so I have to accept it and live with constant pain. Watching this video and doing these exercises gave me some relief for the first time in months. So thank you again, for the relief and the hope that maybe I'm not that far over the hill.

Don’t be afraid of drinking olive oil and apple cider vinegar! Also, get a GOOD digestive enzyme compound - be sure it has pancreatic and ox bile. Follow directions when taking. I drink a swig of olive oil before I have my morning coffee. Does wonders! Calcium build up will disappear

Thank you. Years ago I fell asleep reading a very thick book. My husband had a really hard sliding it out from my “death grip”. Ever since I’ve had pain in my thumb and the pad under it. We jokingly refer to this as my “reading injury”, but it’s no joke! I’ll do these exercises religiously.

These exercises look simple and easy to without a large input of time. Thanks again. 😍

Thanks for the upload doc! So I have an interesting condition one of which I cannot pronounce but it's commonly known as toe thumbs or murderers thumbs. They're missing a bone and essentially are shorter than my other fingers and kind of look like toes. They've made it hard to play the piano but I've adapted with the help of tape and popsicle sticks believe it or not. They played a small part in making it difficult to throw like a large softball but I adapted to that too and was on a team that won a regional championship when I was younger. I can't wrap my thumb all the way around the neck of the guitar stop playing a six string is kind of out of the question but I can rock a 4 string bass. Not great at hitchhiking that's for sure but on the plus side my thumbnails are very thick and strong. I have this ailment on both of my hands and it is definitely a trip 😎 the most known case of this in the public would be Megan Fox but I don't think my thumbs look like hers I think mine look a little better personally lol. But yeah it's just an interesting condition 😎
