THANK YOU so much for making this amazingly helpful video-- VERY appreciated!!! My thumb is feeling better and better-- and I'm *hopeful* (contrary to how I felt looking at 'regular doctor' website for thenar prominence pain!!!! ;-)).
oh geez, I found that nickel spot on the upper arm AND the one at my elbow. I ran a Daycare, toddler lifting, 5 of them, 5 days a week for 8 YRS. Just retired that biz a year ago...oh wow, I am having muscle-nerve-joint-epiphanies all over the place. I was being all "gentle" with myself...NO MORE. Thank you, Gary!! :)
I just discovered your videos this morning. Have had neck problems for years and in the last several months had increased pain in my thumbs after crocheting again. Anyway, you are a gift and can't thank you enough for your sharing your knowledge. Can't believe how much better I feel after 1 morning. Already shared your web site with others before making a comment. THANK YOU!!
A1eCan Hi A1eCan, Great to hear! I love when my videos can help someone who needs to be pain free for their livelihood. You are very welcome. Thanks for commenting. Best, Gary Crowley
You now have me back on the tennis and squash court....and computer without pain! I am a Certified Health Coach, and always happy to refer and give credit when due. I will encourage my clients to subscribe to your UA-cam channel. Great job! - Honest Abe
AMAZING! Thank you for taking the time to post this. Definitely helped immensely. I know some trigger point therapy and stretching but his just helped put things together. I appreciate you posting!
My thumbs have been killing me for years...your awesome instructional video provided immediate relief....amazing...I can't believe it! I'm canceling my doctor's appointment...yes!!
Amazing! I followed along and miracle of miracles... I was actually able to relieve (release) my thumb pain which Had held me prisoner for over a week. I am as serious as can be... you speak truth!!!
Hi Georgia FitClub, You did made me laugh. Yep, this stuff does work! And in the future, if the need arises, please remember to visit my free website Do-It-Yourself-Joint-Pain-Relief (click the link in the video description above) where I have videos for every single joint in the body. All the best, Gary Crowley
Jaimster jaimster JaimsterX2, You are very welcome. I'm thrilled to know it helped. Depending on what you do with your thumbs everyday, this can be good maintenance as well. Thanks for commenting. Best, Gary Crowley
After thumb joint pain relief, I got to this one an nearly fainted 3 times, but it's all good now! :D No more pain! I'll definitely visit a masseuse to fix all my back musculature.
Thank you! I am going to work on your exercises. Have had wrist and joint pain for over two months. I play guitar, piano, type some days all day, and love to craft! Glutton for punishment I guess! Anyhow I am glad my husband loves me because he found you for me! Just started tonight and will keep on releasing those muscles😂😂 will also pass you on to my son who is experiencing shoulder pain. You dear man are a giver not a taker! May God bless you!
OMG! Thank you so much for this video! I didn't realize how tight my arm and shoulder muscles were. This helped with my thumb pad pain I must have a blocked nerve or tight muscle . I get tingling on my face also. Ever hear of this? I've gone to doc and ER 3 times. Not a stroke. Not shingles. Not diabetic. Blood pressure is fine. I'm convinced is from a pinched nerve or tight muscle. Thanks.
Hi Lissbia, I'm very glad to hear my videos helped you. Thanks for commenting. For your face tingling it sounds like you maybe, and only "maybe", have Trigeminal neuralgia. The only thing you can do yourself is make sure all the soft-tissue in your Jaw, neck, base of your skull are as free as possible. You cannot get at the trigeminal nerve with your fingers but if you make sure that everything possible around it is free, then it may help. And it may not be Trigeminal neuralgia, so you may want to ask your MD. Best, Gary Crowley
Many thanks! I have some overuse pain in my left thumb from preparing for a flute recital. I had to stop playing at all this week. I am hoping this will resolve the problem so I can at least get through the performance.
Thanks so much for the video! I'm having thumb pain in the webbing of my thumb, mostly on the back side. I'm not sure it's the actual joint, but will give this a try.
Mr. Crowley those exercises helped a lot for my thumb. I have constant pain in the joint area and stiffness as well. You can actually hear a slight popping noise when I do range of motion with that thumb. Do you think I will need surgery at some point? Those exercises loosened it up a lot though. Thanks.
+handiable Well, if you can free it enough that there is no pain, the odds of you needing surgery should be greatly reduced, since there will be less wear and tear on the joint. The same applies if you do regular work on it to keep it free. Hopefully, you can avoid surgery that way. I'd let the pain be your guide. When you can't fix it anymore, then start investigating more extreme options. Best, Gary Crowley
Really Bad pain in joint just below thumb nail. I play guitar and it's really difficult. Should I ice and keep it stable or continue trying to move it? Thanks
+melanie austin Hi Melanie, Not only do I have suggestions, I have a free webpage on Jaw Joint Pain, with follow along videos. Here's the link, www.do-it-yourself-joint-pain-relief.com/jaw-joint-pain.html It's helped a lot of folks, so I hope you're the next. All the best, Gary Crowley
I am a caretaker who helps my two sisters take care of our mother who had stroke and is trying to recover. I hurt my left thumb while w were trying to pull her up in bed, thus the joint got stuck. I wore a brace on it for a while, now I can't beed without it hurting and now I have done the same thing to the right thumb. If I use your steps where do I start.
Hi Marie, Sorry about the thumb. Start at Video 1 and just go through them in order. On my free website they are all on one page here, www.do-it-yourself-joint-pain-relief.com/thumb-joint-pain-relief.html I think you'll be able to do a lot to help yourself. Best, Gary Crowley
finally i think this might heal my ssharp sore thumbpad! it shoots pain up to my elbow with certain moves, and i just found an almost ball shaped tender patch on my inside elbow.. but sometimes it shoots pain all the way down. should i keep at it. also i did ice before is that bad?
Keep at it, but also find and release the other tight areas I have you investigate. Keep up the good work! Also, I wouldn't ice before you work on it. You can ice after, but doing it before may impede your progress. Best, Gary C.
Hi Gary, I had inflammation and pain of my right thumb. The Dr. said that it is arthritis. This inflammation has temporary relief with magnesium tablets and icing. Can you help ? Thanks,
Hello Timbapa, I think the odds are pretty good that my techniques will help you. Dive in and give them a try. That's the only way you'll know. And just FYI - my free website www.do-it-yourself-joint-pain-relief.com/ has videos for every joint in your body, if you ever need it. All the best, Gary Crowley
thank you for yor sharing advices, my question is against those doctors around the world, we know that there are many plants in the BRAZIL JUNGLE, and doctors and of course multimillion dollars projects in medicals know all these,why not at least help those who really are suffering at least those especially CHILDREN BORN WITH SUCH DESEASES, AND ALSO OLD AGE, we understand that you people need to get your bread too, BUT at least help to those who been suffering for decades loll, i use remedy from india, for osteoporoseus arthritis, and my hands, and top of my middle spine is 24x7 paind and it works,what i use, m 77 years old, BUT i can not share it as maybe my life will be in danger, as it will effect yhere lose of MONEY, and thats what it is BLOODY MONEY MAKING NOTHING ELSE .
I did push myself to the limit since im not a hardcore body builder, but i was trying to do push up as many time as possible, and now it causes pain on my left thumb, but it seems ur step 2 is helping me to relief the pain, thank u so much, i will be watching step 3 now. :)
