I got diagnosed with De Quervain's, which is a very sore thumb, and can be permanent. You see a lot of people wearing these braces on their wrist and thumb and this is why.
I decided on using exercises to fix it. An occupational therapist had all the worst and wrong exercises. Wrote her off.
But this guy on line, Mr. Physio he calls himself, has given me eccentric exercises that have already made me 80% better. Most of the exercises don't even involve the thumb or wrist although some do, but they are all eccentric strength building.
Dr. Peat has said that eccentric exercises damage DNA but I think they are highly protective and in this case they are a revolution. I am recovering much more rapidly than anyone has said is even reasonable. Maybe it's also the supplements I take and my wonderful lifestyle.
