http://CarpalTunnelMaster.com - Thumb Pain can be caused by repeatedly bending your elbow - as in painting a house, washing windows, drumming, hammering, playing the violin, also in some sports and assembly line work. It is easy to tell if this is a cause of your thumb pain. It is also relatively easy to fix.

  • Can this pain be caused for diary swimming?

  • @Luixmai I suppose. If you swim in a way where you bend your elbow a lot. Thumb pain can also be caused by texting, gripping, squeezing things like sizzors, pruning shears, etc. etc., But that is not what this video is about. If your thumb hurts when you push on it, it is caused by thumb movement, not elbow movement.

  • how do i unjam my finger because i was playing football and the ball hit my middle finger and the finger in between the pinky and the middle one

    i have both fingers inbetween the middle and pinky on both hands really messed up from other jams but now its on the left arm help plox:(

  • @MrKingdong7 Sorry for the delay. Ffinger jams are not my expertise. For non-invasive help I suggest a chiropractor First. Not all chiropractors work on fingers. Call them up and ask what the scope of their practice is (Ask "do you just work on the spine?"). Don't first ask "do you work on fingers?" because most will just say yes. After you find out if they also work on other stuff besides the spine, then ask about your fingers.

  • i am sorry but my Thumb is in pain and you not telling me how to fix it im not talking about drums and stuff

  • @Travis14Connections  This is only one cause of thumb pain. For other causes see my video on "Thumb Pain from Text Messaging" which also would include thumb pain from gripping various things.

  • Do you think this can be also the cause if I have pain in both thumb (palm side), occasionnal pain in the ulnar area and I had negative EMG (no CTS, no Cubital Tunnel Syndrome), negative X-ray (no arthritis nor trauma) ? I have pain in my hand (thumb and sometime index finger) since march 2011 and i've seen 2 physicians and 2 specialist and yet, aside from NSAID, i didn't receive any helpful advice. thx!

  • OHMYGOSH! thank you so much! I am an avid texter, and my thumb hurts all the time! watched this video, and like in two seconds the pain was gone! wow! thank you

  • Thank you very much for this vid!!!! I had two thumb-op's with catastrophic consequences; People, never let operate, just sue those who damage your health instead of just giving the advice from DiscomfortFree; it's so annoying that the medicine can just lie at ppl and destroy their body just to earn money; I know now that all the medicine is wrong - only alternative med is good; vitamines and the intelligent use of techniques like yours, DiscomfortFree!!!

  • @DiscomfortFree

    After having doing it for a week, It seems that it really works. I fell my thumb lessa annoying. Maybe its because I left swimming 2 months ago and this has helped too.

    Thanks anyway

  • @powersb2 your sick

  • OMG THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! THIS REALLY WORKS!!! I'm a casino black jack dealer and have carpal tunnel and my thumb was hurting so bad today I was going to wrap my hand to just to sleep. So of course I turn to YT to for a wrapping vid and came across you. The pain stopped IMMEDIATELY when I pushed the spot I felt a tingling in my thumb and then I was able to move it without pain and even type this lol Thank you so much!! I have to share this with my coworkers!!!
