deQuervain's Syndrome

While some people from the Far East (where I was born) may have some difficulty saying "deQuervain's" syndrome, all, regardless of where they were born or what country they came from can easily treat this problem. No splint of any kind is needed, no steroid medication, no muscle relaxant, nothing.

I am going to describe how I treat my "deQuervain's syndrome," right hand (thumb). Using the middle finger and thumb of my left hand I wrapped, clamped and squeezed with the fingers of my left hand tightly around my right wrist. But first I moved the fingers of my left hand up and down my right wrist to find the spot(s) that hurt; and when I found them I squeezed my fingers pressing on them hard, as hard as I could tolerate. Ouch...that hurts! But that is OK...do not be afraid to squeeze, release, squeeze, release...and squeeze again. No pain, no gain...right?

Finally, while still clamping and squeezing tightly with my left middle finger and thumb around my rights wrist, I now randomly moved the fingers of my right hand, particularly the thumb, up, down, sideways, and in circular motion. I did the stretching and flexing rather "vigorously"....! I moved my fingers like I was kneading bread dough, stretching and flexing the affected finger repeatedly. I also like to move the other fingers of the affected hand up and down and sideways while my right wrist (the spot that aches) was still being tightly held and squeezed with the fingers of my left hand.

Do this treatment method daily, as I did, and you will find that you do not have to know how to pronounce "deQuervain's" syndrome correctly to get your wrist and hand (thumb) well in just a short time, provided that you have not broken or torn any bone, muscle, or tendon.

Stay healthy.
