[@rafsdiychannel4875]

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.

[@joevencarloalmazan9791]

Yes too much pain😢

[@frannah8258]

Yes it hurts

[@bruno-orante]

Same for me.. I have QT.. but I found Awesome relief from pain and inflammation by using fresh ginger poltice. I grind some fresh ginger root and place it on a precut piece of cloth and wrap it in the area.. making sure to make it moisture proof.. I usually keep it overnight with great results 👍 No pun intended with the thumb up 😂

[@rafsdiychannel4875]

@@bruno-orante funny thing is that its been a quite a while since my wrist feels great again I mean its normal now, I didn't take any internal medications, but the only thing that I did is evrynight before I sleep. I smother it with eucalyptos oil for more than two weeks and I think that did it. its been almost 4 months ago after I commented here.

[@lifeinaustralia6415]

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.

Excellent video for DQT remedial treatment

[@b.walker5955]

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?

[@MyNigellus]

​@@pavankumaraakash Having it for 2 months now (Exactly). Been to 2 massages (work only temporary), took antiimflammatory meds (works like a charm but after the meds wear off it is right back again). Have been resting, splinting, stretching, medicating, supplementing with MSM/Chondroitin/Glucosamine. Without real success, the problem still persissts and my tendons or their sheet seem to be still inflamed. Starting to get desperate and close to depressed (or rather unhappy with the condition). Going for acupuncture next week, will also ask doc tomorrow about injections - BUT not cortizone which seems to rot bone.

[@michaelyolch79]

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.

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?
