[@joyfulparadise]

Tnak you SOOOO much for these exercises. The back of my wrist was in so much pain i could barely lift a spoon. It got even worse the next day and I had no idea what was wrong with my hand. I googled possibilities and got information that the condition may last for 6 months to 2 years. I decided to watch your video and completed the exercises and kid you not. I started gaining strength right after. The very next day my wrist was back to normal. I am so grateful to u. I also did ur exercised for frozen shoulder about 3 weeks ago when I could barely lift my arm up while shaking so bad and hurting. After your exercises the 2nd day was much better and the 3rd day I was almost 100% back to normal. Simply amazing.

I’m in my seventies and have begun learning guitar. My fretting wrist (left) hurt so much I have had to have very short practice sessions. I’ve been doing these stretches with you for 2 days and my wrist pain has subsided. It’s still tender but it’s clearly healing. I have much more comfortable practice sessions now. Thank you!

This helped me better understand an issue I’ve been dealing with for over a decade.

[@liorliv3Gaming]

I had really bad pain in my wrist because of using my computer's mouse incorrectly, I couldn't bend my wrist upwards or downwards without feelings sharp pain. I did this for nearly a week, every day- once, and I can already bend my wrist again, feeling no pain and without taking any medication! Thank you so much ♡ and if anyone tries this, go slow with your wrist and with the exercises, as your muscles get stronger and your wrist feels better you'll have more range of motion and do these faster :)

Man, this is so helpful. I injured myself from working out 4 months ago and the pain lasted quite a while. Even after heating it with a hot water pack throughout that time, the recovery process was very gradual and slow. These exercises really help with relieving the stress, especially once you start adding more weight and getting comfortable with it

[@AskDoctorJo]

I know you dont like hearing this but im kind of self diagnosing myself Ive tried every stretch for carpel tunnel and didnt see or feel much relief but when I started the stretches especially with the thumb ontop of the can I really started to feel more pain and after your stretches my wirst feels really tired but doesnt hurt no where near as much. I hope over the next week I really see a big difference in my wrist and Dont worry If I dont feel a big difference in about a week then I will seek medical help. I just honestly cant afford a doctors visit due to the fact I just got over covid and Got way behind on my bills. TYSM for this video :)

[@chrisgraham887]

Instant relief!!! How long generally until the pain is eliminated? Rest, ice...anti-inflammatory meds as well?

[@vadesnow3675]

Anti-inflammatory meds only cure the symptom (pain). They do not assist in healing, and honestly are actually even detrimental to your healing. Firstly you’re masking the pain and don’t really know the progress happening in your problem, plus you don’t know what activities you’re doing which are effecting your tendon in a negative way because you can’t feel the pain, your body has no way of telling you somethings wrong. So you end up damaging the tendon even more. And lastly, inflammation is the body response to bring blood flow to the area which helps with healing, taking it away takes healing even longer, especially with an area like a tendon which has little blood supply to begin with. Also those meds aren’t good for your stomach either.

[@CR-ce5lf]

I was recently diagnosed with a ganglion cyst in my left wrist after years of pain. I start physical therapy in a few weeks but I’ll be using this video everyday until then. Thank you

thanks for the exercises. I've just bought the worksheet. Can you please just clarify - recommended treatment seems to be to immobilise the wrist but also do exercises, which seems contradictory

I would not recommend immobilizing your wrist unless you have been instructed by a healthcare professional and/or you can't do your daily activities without extreme pain. Movement helps the healing process.
