I'm going to try the chip clip technique. Thanks.
I had carpal tunnel release surgery two months ago. Dr. never ordered physical therapy for the month I was off work. Never checked my range of motion. At the second followup, after being released by the Dr. to return to work, when I mentioned my hand still hurt, he asked if I had gone back to work. Work he had released me to go back to. He wrote it down even. On actual paper. Somehow I managed to stay polite while my eye started twitching, and I started to smell burnt toast due to my imminent stoke. Last appointment, I brought up to the nurse before the Dr. entered, my thumb range of motion being limited and mentioned I would like to get some exercises from PT to get some mobility back, (can't make the C shape). Dr (after I have to bring it up to him) tells me it's arthritis and not related to the surgery and offers no solutions, except for a prescription for the numbness in my fingers that is chronic and wasn't there before the surgery. He asks if I want to make another followup appointment in a couple of months, and I say no. He taps my leg with the folder like he's happy with the work he's done. I go to the desk with him, he says something to the nurse that I didn't hear assuming it's something to do with my prescription. She says she has Friday in a couple of weeks available and would I like to schedule my appointment for that day. I don't remember how I got in my car or anything else until I was halfway home.
The moral of the story:
Not all clowns wear makeup.
Wooooah this helps! I’ve been dealing with thumb pain for 2 weeks and it’s getting worse. Then i just followed the exercise for 5 mins then the pain goes away like a magic. I’m gonna check if the pain will comeback tomorrow. ❤❤❤
When I did the second one.. that really hurt.. it’s a pity the doctor that I saw didn’t go through stuff like this to ascertain if it is arthritis or not.. 😟
When I do the "C" exercise the tendon that is near the wrist slips over the thumb joint. Is there any way to tighten this tendon?

Michelle, you are the best!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I have in my right hand on my thumb it has a bump on it and it hurts
for me it is not the base but the joint above it so the last suggestion was the best
I found this and this is neat… Pat
Thank you 🙏🙂
How do you pinch that web muscle when the other hand hurts bad as well? Can’t apply pressure to open and close clips.
