Here's an exercise that cleared up my DeQuervain's syndrome, when nothing else worked. I suggest you contact a therapist, doctor or trainer before actually trying this exercise.

  • yo 300 did the shot have any effect on the DQS?

  • @JsusWearsPrada yes, but for me that effect was short-term.

  • Hi i was just wondering if pushing down on things and having pain is a sign of dequarveins? After my first shot wore off i started having pain whenever i would press down on anything please has this happened to any of you is that a symptom of dequarveins?

  • @WorldsBestWife1 Hey, sorry it took me awhile to get back with you. Yes, pressure on the tendon hurt a bit for me, I think. Also immobility was a problem. It was so long ago I can't recall exactly.

  • Hey 300, I also have DQ and are trying this exercise right now.

    Just one question.. Did you do this exercise every day, or did you take days of to let your hand rest?

  • @hardcorepiet I can't remember for sure. I think it may have been every other day.

  • @toonerschooner Thanks for the reply.I'll look into the Alexander techniques. For me it's mostly the wrists that hurt. I have tried using rubber band training to train my fingers, which supposed to help the wrists. But I don't know maybe helped a bit, also with the reverse dead lift as in the video.

    I tried some stretches for the wrists, which kind of help.

    The only thing I haven't done really is stretch/hold routine for strengthen my arms, shoulders, or neck, which I guess I tried next.

  • @chocoboblue99 You may also want to look into Alexander techniques. I've had great success with stretch/hold routine for upper arm, shoulders, neck, back (see other posts). It may less of a localized condition. I tried everything except surgery, found out it's less about immobilization & treating only wrist/hand/fingers. Back massage may also help. But certainly do your homework, be careful & don't jump to shots or surgery.

  • Interestingly, isometric low weight regimen didn't help or hurt my case. However, had phenomenal success w/stretch & hold techniques for neck, shoulders & back & some routines learned via Alexander technique. I'm trying to post my story on any site related to de Quervain, esp. when it comes to surgery & Cortisone shots. I went through everything except surgery & after speaking to a sports physiologist I realized, in my case, was too focused on just hand/wrist. Don't jump to surgery.

  • @Charley711away711

    I got pain in my wrist too, but I can't make a fist anymore or I get more pain from it. Looks like you can still make a fist and that's good.

    Looks like you still doing Yoga and that's good, but don't do any exercises that put a lot of strain on your wrists. That's will causes more damage and add to the problem. Only light pressure is good for stretches, but NOT IF THERE'S PAIN.
