    Gary,
    I don't know how to thank you! There's nothing more noble than to give someone relief from pain and suffering! You do that so effectively through your most wonderfully demonstrative videos! I was suffering from thumb and wrist pain and you make me free of pain almost instantly! THANK YOU....

    Thank You! You have really helped me! After doing the exercises, especially on my forearms, my thumb can finally touch my little finger! My thumb pain started 3 weeks ago and this REALLY works! Many sincere thanks to you for all the good you are doing!

    Amazing! I've finally decided to look up thumb joint pain relief and I'm now able to play guitar for extended periods of time, without my thumb muscle cramping up and hurting like it's got a needle in it! Thank you, sir!

    thank you so much..I'm a 68 year old woman and have been having so much pain in both thumbs, especially my right one..I hate doctors because they always want to put you on meds (with side effects) and I don't want to take them...or surgery and I didn't see that help when my mother-in-law did that...but just a few minutes of these exercises has made a difference for me and I will continue to do them..so glad I found you..God Bless..Charlotte

    Thank you so much Gary, About a week ago I moved my thumb the wrong way and it popped. A wave of tingling went down my arm but it didn't hurt. Two days later my thumb hurt so bad I couldn't even pick up puzzle pieces while playing with my kids. I have been suffering with this pain for 3 days now and decided to do something about it. I found your video and went through all of the movements and massages. When I was doing the push and pull my thumb hurt a little but then I felt it crack and like magic it feels good as new, a little tight but usable. Thanks again, you my hero for the day.

    yes i injured my thumb nearly two years ago.i never seeked medical help,i just hoped that the injury would heal itself,two years later the thumb joint is week and feels tight,even the simple task of switching on a light switch would hurt like hell.i have tried the excerises you have, and without shadow of doubt to any one who is a doubting thomas,these excersises work,you are a credit to your profession ,im just upset that i didnt stumble upon this information much sooner,god bless you..

    Thank you soooo much! My thumb was jammed last month. Xrays show no broken bone etc but my thumb hurt so bad! I found your videos and I could cry because the pain is going away and rotation anx ability to move my thumb is slowly being restored. Thank you so much for your helpful videos. My Dr basically did nothing past the xrays and I was feeling scared that I was going to just have to deal with the pain.

And a bit on the knuckle of the thumb. I can do stuff without pain at last! Amazing. Went to a party yesterday and could hold a wine glass for the first time for yonks! Denial has been my strategy for years, or I would never have re-learned all that I am now able to do. Thank you. A huge weight lifted up again? I walk daily as well. All is more relaxed. Your words have made such a difference. I felt stuck not so long ago. I am not good NOT knowing what to do!!

    My thumb had become swollen from playing too much guitar without stretching properly. This really worked. I was very surprised. I'm glad I did not have to keep taking NSAIDS, they work sometimes, but have terrible side effects. I love your videos, the one about wrist pain relief also woked. I think the key thing to remember when doing these exercises is to remain patient. It took me a couple of sessions of doing these excersises, but the swelling in my thumb did go down. I was very happy. Thanks again for these videos Gary, you are lending a great amount of help to people in need.

    Gary, I am very glad to have found your video, and wish to offer my sincere 'thank you'. Pain in my thumb developed very quickly, but is a probably the result of genetics and various snow boarding injuries left unattended. Anyway, after things got to the point where I was waking myself up with the pain when moving in my sleep and bumping my thumb, I make a quick search. Just minutes into your video I could feel relief. I will continue to implement your recommendations. Much appreciated.

    Yes, I worked with a fair number of De Quervain Syndrome patients. Do you hold your iPad for long periods of time with your thumbs? Just a guess. You really have to take your time and get deep into all those muscles in your forearm, especially the ones directly connected to your thumb. Glad it's helping.

    • @garycrowley1
      @garycrowley1  7 років тому +1

      It could be from texting or some other activity that seems like you're not doing anything. A couple years ago I got an Otterbox case for my phone that shockingly caused my thumbs to hurt a lot. I couldn't believe it, but I tested with and without the case and it was definitely causing the pain. And I don't even text excessively. So, it's probably something you're doing with your thumb and don't realize it's the problem.
      Hope that helps.

    OMGosh, this was so helpful. First I was giving you the side eye, but I still went ahead and mimicked your movements. My thumb is still sore, but now I can make the number four with less pain and I just screwed the top on a bottle without pain. Thanks so much, I will keep working on it. I've been in pain for 4 months and this was here all along! Subscribed, liked, and favorited!

      Hello 4cWhisperer,
      That's pretty funny to hear. I've never heard of "the side eye", and I'm not sure what part of the world that comes from, but I'm glad to know my techniques proved effective. Stick with it and your thumb should keep improving.

    Hi Andrew,
    Yes, do this Thumb Pain Video Series, change the way you text (at least for while). I've had patients with this from holding an iPad a certain way for too long. I had this when I had a bulky Otter Box for my iPhone and my thumbs had to "reach" over the edge. Hard to believe but when I got a really slim phone case, my thumbs never had the issue again.

  • @garycrowley1
    @garycrowley1  11 років тому

    Hi Liz,
    You'll probably have to work the tight tendon and fascia tissue on the entire "top" (thumb nail side) of your thumb, but a lot of benefit from working the tissue from that top knuckle down to the base if it's tight. In your daily life, if you press a lot with your thumb you may have to do this as regular maintenance. I know because I use my thumbs a lot and mine will start to click every once in a while if I don't work on it every couple of weeks.
    Best,

  • @Linda-gx3uk
    @Linda-gx3uk 10 років тому

    For a while I had been googling for help with this trigger thumb that triggers at the joint right below the thumbnail; and the area around the joint at the base of my thumb was so tender. I ended up keeping it in homemade splints (usually using a paperclip and wrapping with tape). During my googling, one hand surgeon's said the ONLY remedy is surgery as that was the only way the nodule could be freed up. Oh lordy! Of course he also recommended anti-inflamitories and cortisone. Double lordy! I don't do drugs so I decided that tonight I would keep googling till I found real help. By the way, my doctor said it was arthritis but I simply did not agree. Then, I found you about 20 minutes ago. I started massaging and pressing and releasing, etc., etc. Needless to say, it was painful but the way you presented the treatment and assured each and every one of us that this would work kept me at it. The first thing that happened was that the area at the base of the thumb became very itchy --wow!...good sign. I can tell you that the pain is much, much less and that I will continue with your treatment. I was also very interested in your C6 reference in one of your responses to someone. I haven't seen my chiro in well over a year and maybe the time is nigh. Sorry for the book-length post, but I just had to get it out...lol. Thanks so much for your help!

    • @garycrowley1
      @garycrowley1  10 років тому +1

      Hi Linda,
      Thanks for sharing the great news! I'm thrilled to hear whenever someone has been freed from pain because of my videos. Keep at and you should be pain free in no time. Most joint pain labeled "arthritis" is just the shortening and tightening of tissue around joints, which you can fix. For that C6, you can do it yourself. I show in later videos, also feel free to visit my main Neck Pain Relief page at my free website Do-It-Yourself-Joint-Pain-Relief (click the link in the video description above).
      Keep up the good work.

      Just recently was surfing and I think I sprained my thumb. It's not too sore but if I do push ups or surf for longer than an hour it gets sore and restricted.
      Shall I give it time and if so is this video relevant in treating my thumb sprain?

      Raughing outRoud Hello, I think it's worth going through the videos and releasing any tight tissue you find. The fact that doing normal activities, such as surfing for only an hour, make your thumb hurt means there is probably a few areas you could benefit from working on.

    Hi Gary. I stumbled upon your website while I was googling for thumb pain relief and I'd like to thank you for doing this. My late father used to do similar techniques as yours whenever I had any aches or pains and back then I was too lazy to listen to him explaining why/how he did it. Since he passed, I'm glad I found your website and UA-cam channel.
    Anyways, my left thumb hurts recently, I tried to ignore it but now it has gotten to a point where the thumb is swollen and can barely move. I went through all your steps and it feels slightly better now. At least my thumb can reach my pinky (before this it could barely bend).
