@@cadecompton7713 Hi, I fell from my motorcycle and when I was falling I put my palm first on the road and it's been 2 months it happened and I still occasionally feel pain on my wrist when I do some workouts do you think I have tendonitis?
I'm 56. I've been a dog groomer for 25 years. My hands are quite strong. Tendonitis comes and goes. The tendons in each finger and thumb are all swollen and painful right now. I do just schedule small dogs for three weeks wile things heal. I find that switching from cold to warm compresses helps, I find keeping frozen peas in the freezer for this.
I keep getting stretching and resting advice but strengthening is so important. I imagine it's not so good to do very early in the inflammatory phase but after that you'd want blood going there so you get a quicker recovery. Great advice. also find the advice of avoiding isolation exercise to be useful to, heard that can lead to some imbalances that can lead to more problems. You generally wanna stick with non-isolated exercises unless you know what you're doing.
This suggestion may be good for some people. But if your symptoms haven't gone away I recommend watching this video: th-cam.com/video/vAS7HdsM4DY/w-d-xo.html
@@areebhussain321 hey thanks for asking. I’m doing much better. It’s a slow process but definitely worth it. Can finally do the things i love, just have to take more breaks to ensure I don’t get reinjured :) The tendonitis is is not gone but it’s much better. It gets better by the month so I have gotten used to dealing with it.
@@areebhussain321 Just getting a physical therapist to get me on track and reaffirm my emotions was extremely helpful. A lot of the guess work I had been doing at that point had finally some direct professional guidance, but also just good ways of thinking about my tendonitis, like if I feel pain then I'm doing something wrong is a bad way of looking at it. If you're generally being self-aware about the pain and taking breaks and exercising, then pain every now and then is a part of the process. tho if you did something and felt pain for day(s) then you might have done a bit too much. Also don't see it as a wrist problem, it's probably caused by many other factors too. So for me it was the shoulders too, since i had a ergonomically terrible table that lifted my shoulders to a bad position which effects my tendonitis in my wrists. I had up to that point only done wrist exercises and stretches, when really you don't want any imbalance in your body at all. You should be overall be fit person so injuries are less likely to occur. I was recommended to jog for example and i think it's a good exercise to get blood flowing through your whole body. If you're eating well, exercising well, listening to your body, taking breaks, living ergonomically it *will* be better, and I'm glad i'm trusting the process.
Everyone, please take what she said about not isolating the wrist SERIOUSLY. I did 1 session of the standard pronation + flexion stretches and tyler twists / reverse twists with a 10 lb (so reasonably light) flex bar 10 times / side to try to deal with some mild forearm pain I've been experiencing and now Ive been dealing with unbearable ulnar sided wrist pain bilaterally for a week which is unlike anything I've ever experience before. I'm literally disabled from this rn.
I think maybe that’s what happened to me! It’s a bit hard to tell bc I also do a lot of repetitive movements at work. But I also was doing wrist flexion and extension at the gym to strengthen my forearms and I think I overdid it
@@chillwill55 Sort of. I'm dealing with some other stuff thats making it difficult, but its not constant like it used to be last year. Just comes and goes. Apparently I had some preexisting TFCC laxity I didn't know about...and a tendon in both my wrists which has been subluxating my entire life which I didn't know was an issue, so I was totally set up to fail on those exercises haha.

@@chillwill55 Ironically I still have the forearm pain I mentioned which was never nearly as bad but is much more consistent. Apparently it's probably secondary to my thoracic outlet syndrome, so I'm still trying to deal w/ that. ._. Might just do the surgery tbh.

Very nice video, I keep getting ulnary tendonitis on my wrist and it takes so long to heal. I always think its healed to early and start exercising again resulting in inflammation...

Great video, and appreciate the explanation provided. I've already seen an Orthopedic specialist who prescribed an NSAID medication and similar isolated wrist exercises with a 1Kilo dumbbell at a table corner, pretty much as shown in this video, but he stopped short of calling it 'Wrist Tendonitis', though I think that is what he mumbled - though he did mention inflammation of tendons. Would some kind of compression band that go over the thumb and grab the wrist tight also help ? Cold pack seems to help to some extent, but I was looking to heal, and not just reduce symptoms. Is 'Wrist Tendonitis' / 'Wrist Tendinitis' indicated by a dull pain near the part where Ulna and the Lunate bone of the hand seem to meet ? Also does that dull pain suddenly increase with a feeling of weakness in certain positions ?
What you describe can fit many different diagnoses, including wrist tendonitis/tendinitis, so ask your ortho specilist what the diagnosis is. A wrist support can help because it helps you avoid those positions that further strain it and the support can help the tendons to rest a bit which can help healing. But it is important to only wear it short term in situations that you find increase your pain and not become too dependent on it.
thank you. this was very useful. I had read before that we shouldn't do any strength training. I'm also about to buy a Logitech Lift (vertical mouse) as the pain is making it unbearable to work.
What about if you're a restaurant worker like me? I'm constantly lifting buckets and trays of food and so on so forth. And with that type of work I can't necessarily wear a brace either cuz I also wash dishes and none of the standard dish gloves will fit over my brace without ripping 😞
I feel your pain, i type all day at work and it hurts like hell, i can wear a brace easier than u can i guess, but trying to type too is still hard, so i wear mine at night (its still not really helping enough tho). I'm also gonna get that band she talks about to do strength training, but it really sucks having this and it hurting while u work!!
TWO HANDS Always. I worked with a guy in the culinary world who would use one hand to carry sheet trays and whatever else and eventually had wrist issues and had surgery..carpel tunnel or something similar but it still applies. Use two hands as much as you can Or better yet.......don't sacrifice your one of a kind body that you only get one of for all job that will gradually take away the functionality of your one and only body. Easier said than done, If options are limited maybe you can work in a different part of the restaurant.
Question: Doesn't "strengthening the wrist" mimic the motion that created the problem in the first place? How does load bearing make the pain go away, when repetitive non-load bearing motions (mouse movement etc) do not? Thoughts?
Good question - I think I need to make a video to explain it but for now: It is all about getting the timing right. Often tendons require a period where you first reduce the load on them e.g. adjust you work setup etc. But then they also need strength training to restore their strength and endurance lost through the injury - however, this does not have to be high volume and it does not even have to take the form of traditional strength training. Often doing other activities that just create more movement first e.g. swimming can be super useful. But in the long run strength training makes your tendons more robust so they can handle other tasks better.
I'm an arm wrestler and used to be able to wrist curl 50kg.. now only 7kg aggravates the tendon... It sucks, so I'm stuck using only 3kg with high reps, slowly slowly increasing the weight
@@SportsInjuryPhysio thank you for the kind words After just 9 days I have made some meaningful progress. The key was realising compression was causing a lot of my soreness. Since eliminating all wrist curl movements and only loading isometrically with a straight wrist, I can do 3 sets of 45 sec holds with 8kg pain free. I will probably increase by 1-2kg each week depending how it feels
@@gerardt3284 Great! I'd been wondering if I could do light weights as long as I keep my wrist straight. I think I have a wear and tear injury from holding my cell phone. Small hands. It's gone from bad to worse 😕.

And it looks like you have the knowledge to help me to get better of this injury. Would be a pleasure to have a talk with you. Let me know if yes how we can proceed. Thank you!
Wrist circles can help circulation but you can overdo them so don't go too crazy with how many you do - they don't strengthen. Yes, light weights can also help.
I run bar & grille/night club and spend my nights behind the bar after doing a day of tedious work with my hands. I'm all wrapped up at the moment hurting and dreading going back in tomorrow.
Here is the article about this video. Maybe you can use Google Translate to translate it for you. www.sports-injury-physio.com/post/3-tips-for-treating-wrist-tendinitis-caused-by-computer-work
I dunno if this will help you, but I use wrist guards when I play video games, and that seems to help a lot. I don't feel any discomfort gaming with them.
Its been a month of closed k wire fixation. I still feel tingling and discomfort. I don't want to keep myself on painkillers. What should i do to lower down the discomfort and start rehab to increase motion.
Pain will never go away. Once you're damaged you're done. Only thing to do is exercising every day and take 1 ibuprofen if it get's too bad. Once your wrists warmed up after exercising you just don't feel the pain. Not sure if is not hurting or you just learn to ignore it. No matter what, you start the mornings barely holding your cup of coffe. Video is very useful indeed.
I am having pain since 6/7 months. Suddenly the pain started. When I rotate my palm, it makes a lot of noise When I turn from the right side. And when I rotate from left side there is no sound.. Like bones have been broken. Can you tell why the pain is happening suddenly? I am 30 years old. And yes. You are right, you get some rest after exercising.
How can you tell if thumb numbness is being caused by wrist tendonitis or early carpal tunnel? My nerve conduction study did not show median nerve issues although I have constant mild numbness and tingling on both thumbs, and mild soreness on my wrists.
If your nerve conduction studies were normal, it means your nerve is just super irritated but it doesn't have any permanent damage. So if you figure out how to stop irritating it, it should recover well. Your doctor or physio will be able to determine if you have tendonitis or carpal tunnel - it is done via a full assessment, not just one thing
@Just some guy without a blindfold i went to go get it massaged yesterday. I guess a chiropractor can work or someone who massages locally. One thing the man told me was to dip my wrist/hand in hot water; pour salt in the hot water. I guess that’s supposed to relax the inflamed muscles/tendons.slow exercises also help unravel shriveled up nerves. Just take it slowly it’s gonna be a bit uncomfortable. All I did was fold a wet towel and that made my Nerves feel like it got pulled back or something,supper uncomfortable. I also notice that sensation when I do push ups. This is why warming up the muscles Is important.
@@pedjamigrant7189 i have tendinitis from misuse or overuse of my muscles/tendons in both wrists. I’m a professional dancer (tap/jazz/ballet/etc.) so I have to use them a lot, but I also game a lot with PC/console. This could be a big reason why I’ve developed tendinitis. But yeah you can pinpoint it that way, trying to figure out misuse or overuse situations you’ve been in over a long period of time.
injured my hand playing guitar 6 months ago was getting better but now worse Dr told me to STOP doing all exercising and stretching do you know why this is happening? I barley even playing guitar now
Hi there, Sixfoursoul, We cannot provide individual treatment advice without doing an in-depth assessment of your injury and your personal circumstances, as the advice might not be appropriate for you. You're welcome to book a video consultation with one of our physios if you would like an assessment and a personalised treatment plan: www.sports-injury-physio.com/
I'm nearly about to quit my job because of my tendonitis pain. It has been getting worse and worse for over 2 years of desk work. I'm going to try and use my 3.5lb weights to workout my wrists, biceps, and shoulders once every hour. Why you ask? Well, my tendonitis is seemingly gotten so bad that my wrist, forearm, and elbow ache all day and night. Also, my shoulder became tweaked several months ago after throwing a ball, so I must've aggrevated the tendon all the way up in my shoulder that day or tore a muscle, but seeing that my tendonitis is so bad in my lower arm, I now presume I tweaked my shoulder tendon at the top of my bicep. I feel so helpless without taking Celebrex to subdue my inflammation pain. 😫 I'm 34 years old and my desk job is wrecking me, but my doctor refuses to acknowledge it. I am going to a workers comp. doctor next week to see what he says instead. My main specialist I've been seeing refuses to acknowledge that my work routine is causing all of these issues due to liability concerns. My doctor just recommended PT twice a week for 6 weeks and 15 minute breaks every hour, so I'm going elsewhere for a second opinion.
If you already lift weights and your injury is due to strength training more of the same wont help. The twisting stretches with theraband and rest. It can take months or sometimes years to get past this and sometimes it never fully heals, especially if there is a tear. You'll feel the pop if it starts to tear. For some it will be something you always need to keep an eye on. Easing back into exercising lots of warm up and gradually working your way back listening to what your body can do. A repetitive stress injury from light repetitive stress could benefit from strength training. Personal experience here. Get to it early if possible and get it under control fast. It can go from bad to debilitating very quickly.
The picture is exactly where it hurts on my wrist I'm a carpenter and I pick up heavy things every day my wrist hurt now I been looking for answers it hurts on the side not where my the is at but the other side it bothers me at at work
That is tricky because even a splint will likely not help to provide rest because it won't stay clean in your line of work...unless I guess you can use some form of glove over it. So perhaps a soft wrist support? A physio may be able to provide better advice after assessing you and properly understanding what movements etc. your job entails.
Can just resting my wrist can help to get away from inflamed tendon pain...I consulted physiotherapist an he suggested same what u suggested .I don't want to do strength exercise will it be okay
Bro I go to physiotherapist and let me tell you your pain will never leave you if you don't strengthen your tendons that's pretty much what tendonitis is its when your tendons are overused and they become weak almost like a week rope you have to strengthen them back to the way they were before or your pain will never leave you trust me I did the exact same thing that this woman said to rest her hand which you definitely need rest I'm not saying you don't but just resting your hands will not heal tendonitis that's what I did for almost six months until I talk to physical therapist and the second I started doing exercises and physical therapy I already noticed a difference in the pain level and I've barely even done a month
@@anthonydriotes8804 the problem with me is I don't give rest to my wrist I am enthusiast farmer and like to engage in agriculture activities which worsen my pain ....and my pain occurred due to falling and thus got inflammation.
@@NiKhilShaRmA-hq2xx and I was an Enthusiast guitarist and video gamer but you have to give those things up for a couple of months if you ever want to get better if not your pain will only get worse and worser and you could permanently damage your tendons take this advice from me please
That is tricky - you need to try and figure out ways how you can reduce the strain on it a bit e.g. perhaps through wrist supports or if it makes a difference if you adjust your work position - often the angle your wrist is at while working can make a difference.
@@SportsInjuryPhysio most people who work with their hand (gardening, construction, food service) are not doing one or two repetitive tasks but rather using their hands as the complex joints they are so i think its hard to make positional adjustments. supports make sense if they help in recovery.
This doesnt make sense. How do I give my wrists rest but you want me to strength train it? That would do the opposite of letting it rest and putting more strain on it. How do i give it a rest or take breaks from it when you want me to strength train it?

Since eliminating all wrist curl movements and only loading isometrically with a straight wrist, I can do 3 sets of 45 sec holds with 8kg pain free. I will probably increase by 1-2kg each week depending how it feels
@@gerardt3284 Great! I'd been wondering if I could do light weights as long as I keep my wrist straight. I think I have a wear and tear injury from holding my cell phone. Small hands. It's gone from bad to worse 😕.
Love it! I would like to contact you to get help! I have tendinitis and tendonosis, and I'm struggling to find help in Brazil. And it looks like you have the knowledge to help me to get better of this injury. Would be a pleasure to have a talk with you. Let me know if yes how we can proceed. Thank you!

Did you solve your wrists issue / tendinitis? If so how did you do itv
Can a light weight do the same thing as the bands?
What about large numbers of wrist circles?
Wrist circles can help circulation but you can overdo them so don't go too crazy with how many you do - they don't strengthen. Yes, light weights can also help.
@@SportsInjuryPhysio thank you!
I run bar & grille/night club and spend my nights behind the bar after doing a day of tedious work with my hands. I'm all wrapped up at the moment hurting and dreading going back in tomorrow.
I am not fluent in the English language. If it is possible, I can write the necessary things in writing for the benefit
Here is the article about this video. Maybe you can use Google Translate to translate it for you. www.sports-injury-physio.com/post/3-tips-for-treating-wrist-tendinitis-caused-by-computer-work
Iodex or volinijel application externally....😊
What about for gaming or with use of a controller and repetitive movements?
I dunno if this will help you, but I use wrist guards when I play video games, and that seems to help a lot. I don't feel any discomfort gaming with them.
can i do gym if i have this problem...?
Home care worker here and my right hand is stuffed .. painful all the time, affected my work unfortunately
Its been a month of closed k wire fixation. I still feel tingling and discomfort. I don't want to keep myself on painkillers. What should i do to lower down the discomfort and start rehab to increase motion.
You should apply Ice
How is it now, is it fine?
Pain will never go away. Once you're damaged you're done. Only thing to do is exercising every day and take 1 ibuprofen if it get's too bad. Once your wrists warmed up after exercising you just don't feel the pain. Not sure if is not hurting or you just learn to ignore it. No matter what, you start the mornings barely holding your cup of coffe. Video is very useful indeed.
I am having pain since 6/7 months. Suddenly the pain started. When I rotate my palm, it makes a lot of noise When I turn from the right side. And when I rotate from left side there is no sound.. Like bones have been broken. Can you tell why the pain is happening suddenly? I am 30 years old. And yes. You are right, you get some rest after exercising.
omg samee its been months@@neeil634
How can you tell if thumb numbness is being caused by wrist tendonitis or early carpal tunnel? My nerve conduction study did not show median nerve issues although I have constant mild numbness and tingling on both thumbs, and mild soreness on my wrists.
If your nerve conduction studies were normal, it means your nerve is just super irritated but it doesn't have any permanent damage. So if you figure out how to stop irritating it, it should recover well. Your doctor or physio will be able to determine if you have tendonitis or carpal tunnel - it is done via a full assessment, not just one thing
Help can i still play guitar or how long do I have to wait
Do get an uncomfortable popping/snapping feeling when moving your wrist?
@@Jp-fi2pj No I don't. I can barley move my wrist and it hurts but I don't feel any snapping or popping feeling.
@Just some guy without a blindfold i went to go get it massaged yesterday. I guess a chiropractor can work or someone who massages locally. One thing the man told me was to dip my wrist/hand in hot water; pour salt in the hot water. I guess that’s supposed to relax the inflamed muscles/tendons.slow exercises also help unravel shriveled up nerves. Just take it slowly it’s gonna be a bit uncomfortable.
All I did was fold a wet towel and that made my
Nerves feel like it got pulled back or
something,supper uncomfortable. I also notice that sensation when I do push ups. This is why warming up the muscles Is important.
@@Jp-fi2pj Thanks , I had that popping turning thing my pain is coming back now, im gonna try it . Why do people get these things all of asudden ?
@@pedjamigrant7189 i have tendinitis from misuse or overuse of my muscles/tendons in both wrists. I’m a professional dancer (tap/jazz/ballet/etc.) so I have to use them a lot, but I also game a lot with PC/console. This could be a big reason why I’ve developed tendinitis. But yeah you can pinpoint it that way, trying to figure out misuse or overuse situations you’ve been in over a long period of time.
injured my hand playing guitar 6 months ago was getting better but now worse Dr told me to STOP doing all exercising and stretching do you know why this is happening? I barley even playing guitar now

My wrist tendons are broken ,and it ain't growing ,how to do ?
I'm nearly about to quit my job because of my tendonitis pain. It has been getting worse and worse for over 2 years of desk work. I'm going to try and use my 3.5lb weights to workout my wrists, biceps, and shoulders once every hour. Why you ask? Well, my tendonitis is seemingly gotten so bad that my wrist, forearm, and elbow ache all day and night. Also, my shoulder became tweaked several months ago after throwing a ball, so I must've aggrevated the tendon all the way up in my shoulder that day or tore a muscle, but seeing that my tendonitis is so bad in my lower arm, I now presume I tweaked my shoulder tendon at the top of my bicep. I feel so helpless without taking Celebrex to subdue my inflammation pain. 😫 I'm 34 years old and my desk job is wrecking me, but my doctor refuses to acknowledge it. I am going to a workers comp. doctor next week to see what he says instead. My main specialist I've been seeing refuses to acknowledge that my work routine is causing all of these issues due to liability concerns. My doctor just recommended PT twice a week for 6 weeks and 15 minute breaks every hour, so I'm going elsewhere for a second opinion.
If you already lift weights and your injury is due to strength training more of the same wont help. The twisting stretches with theraband and rest. It can take months or sometimes years to get past this and sometimes it never fully heals, especially if there is a tear. You'll feel the pop if it starts to tear. For some it will be something you always need to keep an eye on. Easing back into exercising lots of warm up and gradually working your way back listening to what your body can do. A repetitive stress injury from light repetitive stress could benefit from strength training. Personal experience here. Get to it early if possible and get it under control fast. It can go from bad to debilitating very quickly.
Absolutely agree - especially at the start, rest is actually much more important that strength training.
@@SportsInjuryPhysioI was left wondering exactly this: How long to rest before strengthening? Thank you!
The picture is exactly where it hurts on my wrist I'm a carpenter and I pick up heavy things every day my wrist hurt now I been looking for answers it hurts on the side not where my the is at but the other side it bothers me at at work
thanks and ❤️
I’m a butcher how does this work for me because it’s the bottom of my wrist on the inside like where the thumb meets the wrist
That is tricky because even a splint will likely not help to provide rest because it won't stay clean in your line of work...unless I guess you can use some form of glove over it. So perhaps a soft wrist support? A physio may be able to provide better advice after assessing you and properly understanding what movements etc. your job entails.
Thank you
Can just resting my wrist can help to get away from inflamed tendon pain...I consulted physiotherapist an he suggested same what u suggested .I don't want to do strength exercise will it be okay
Bro I go to physiotherapist and let me tell you your pain will never leave you if you don't strengthen your tendons that's pretty much what tendonitis is its when your tendons are overused and they become weak almost like a week rope you have to strengthen them back to the way they were before or your pain will never leave you trust me I did the exact same thing that this woman said to rest her hand which you definitely need rest I'm not saying you don't but just resting your hands will not heal tendonitis that's what I did for almost six months until I talk to physical therapist and the second I started doing exercises and physical therapy I already noticed a difference in the pain level and I've barely even done a month
@@anthonydriotes8804 the problem with me is I don't give rest to my wrist I am enthusiast farmer and like to engage in agriculture activities which worsen my pain ....and my pain occurred due to falling and thus got inflammation.
@@NiKhilShaRmA-hq2xx and I was an Enthusiast guitarist and video gamer but you have to give those things up for a couple of months if you ever want to get better if not your pain will only get worse and worser and you could permanently damage your tendons take this advice from me please
@@anthonydriotes8804 months!!
Pain is for 2years and getting worse at first it was nothing...will it be cured permanently??
work station. what about people who work with their hands?
That is tricky - you need to try and figure out ways how you can reduce the strain on it a bit e.g. perhaps through wrist supports or if it makes a difference if you adjust your work position - often the angle your wrist is at while working can make a difference.
@@SportsInjuryPhysio most people who work with their hand (gardening, construction, food service) are not doing one or two repetitive tasks but rather using their hands as the complex joints they are so i think its hard to make positional adjustments. supports make sense if they help in recovery.
This doesnt make sense. How do I give my wrists rest but you want me to strength train it? That would do the opposite of letting it rest and putting more strain on it. How do i give it a rest or take breaks from it when you want me to strength train it?
You first let it rest and calm down. Then, once it is ready you start gentle exercise. Your physio will help guide you through this process.
This was lekker!
Horrible tendon injury. Not really helpful video I'm still looking
I am a big wave surfer and dont have a computer
Well, big wave surfing is definitely a more fun way to overwork the wrist tendons than with a computer!

Hi is your wrist fine now? If so what did you do to improve it?
@@areebhussain321 hi it comes and goes still no help moving to oz hopefully I’ll get help there here it’s useless just keep using the wrist guard when it starts
@@AngelsDiamonds understandable. Perhaps get something called a powerball. It’s a fun mechanism which strengthens your forearm muscles and tendons
@@areebhussain321 thanks ill have a look for that 😊
I pulled me wrist tendon in a volleyball game
I play football and one day I just couldn’t throw a football then every time I use my phone my thumb pops
I can't really tell from this description what it can be - may be a ligament or tendon injury. Best to get it checked out.
I got this from playing too much playstation :(
Ice! Just use ice , 10 minutes at the time. You can thank me later
Ice is not a good solution it slows down the healing process it only temporarily provides relief
Ice made my hand swell up even more.
That’s not tendinitis then. It’s only a temporary swell
Heat don’t ice dumbass
