    I’m a life long gamer, and I’m about to be 33 soon. I’ve set massaged my hands for years because that area of my palm feeling overworked. Using your hands to massage your hands has never felt very effective though. However, trying this immediately provided so much relief and satisfaction that I can’t imagine going back. Thank you for this, and I’ll spread the world. Simple, and amazing🔥

      Had to laugh - me too I'm 60 ! I started on Donkey Kong, Space Invaders and Pac Man in the bars and arcades. My thumbs are a wreck, I had come to suspect my gaming was to blame. I just found this and am pumped to try it.

    I want to thank you for this excellent video. I searched around for many different things that I thought were the cause of the pain in this "thumb pad" or "meat" of the thumb / index area of my hands and nothing really hit on what was wrong until I found yours. I'm a 46 year old active guy and former mechanic so tightly gripping tools and things over the years has caused these symptoms I think. Just a single session of using a hard rounded surface and massaging those areas literally made the pain I've been dealing with for years vanish like magic. Sir, again - I cannot thank you enough!

      Same! A single day of overzealous wrenching of bike wheels and accessories caused this for me - then every time I used a screwdriver it returned … more permanently and I lost use and strength of my thumb
      All the other vids said it was De Quervains syndrome - IT IS NOT! The pain is all in the palm / base of thumb meat not the side tendons or tendinitis.

    Your the first person to treat THIS (instead of de quervains tendinitis) - your video is the only thing that helped. Some others made it worse!
    But it happened from a single day of wrenching bolts and using a screwdriver more than my hand was used to. Then never went away because of scar tissue. I spent months in a thumb brace and was told to text less 🙄 took the brace off it flared up immediately as the scar tissue and correct trigger points had not been treated.

We'll have to ask my husband where I can get a small little ball like this
    Ball like this. I have found the tender spots that you're speaking of this is great I can't even tell you how painful the knitting has caused all the way up my arm to my elbow mostly I can't even sleep at night been taking advil a few times. I miss knitting and crocheting so much. Hope this helps

You perfectly described several of the activities that were causing my pain. I didn't have a tiny ball, so I just used the pointer finger knuckle of my opposite hand.

    I have had pain in this thumb area for about 5 years I've gotten cortisone shots in the thumb the past 3 years.. they're starting not to work. Finally decided to check on TH-cam, watched this video, try your technique I wished I had seen this years ago because it really helped a lot the first time I did this with pressure on the painful areas. Not perfect yet but I don't have to wear a thumb brace. Thank you for taking the time to teach us this technique. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it 💕

    • @sevendoubleodex
