More info on DQT and how to bring relief

I confirm that I have this problem on my wrist by doing the test, looking at how the massage is being done makes me think twice to try it, LOL. I cant describe the pain and only us who suffers this issue can tell how it really hurts.

I have this condition. This is too painful for me to watch

I think this massage will lead to a lot of pain with no good effect on the hand!! We need a pt feedback !!

I'm impressed. I tried to self massage while viewing the video. Immediately wrist feels freer and lighter. I will try to incorporate the massage into my day. Admit I am guilty of ignoring previous flare ups. No more.

Dealing with this from 4 months. Took oral medicines, went for physiotherepy. Honestly nothing is working. It hurts very badly sometimes.

KZfaq is very useful for these kind of situations, very well explained, I’m right handed so I couldn’t chop it off it hurt so much, I used an ice pack and a frozen ball bearing to do those massages, the relief was amazing, Thankyou so much! 🙏🏽🙏🏽😢

I’m a massage therapist and I was very worried with the beginning stage of this disorder. These helped me a lot! Thanks so much! (It was from carrying my table on mobile calls etc, not from massage itself…

No one talks about the swollen thumb and index finger that comes with it too

Also known as mommy’s thumb and is vastly under diagnosed in pregnancy and post pregnancy. It’s also often misdiagnosed as carpal tunnel

I did the test and have no pain with that motion. I do have pain in both wrists by my thumbs and can't support my weight in push up position. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

I am an acupuncturist and I have been dealing with De Quervain's since May this year! Its slowly getting better with stretching, ice, and BONE BROTH.

Idk how many youtube videos I've done with really not many change with my thumb and wrist but with this one, wow! I had relief in 3days the pain and discomfort almost feels like its gone. I'm so glad I ran into this video and you sharing it, thank you!

I'm a Bowler in leagues and man this pain in my thumb/wrist is Exactly this!!! Very helpful video.

This is good information, the sad fact is if you don't have someone to help massage you, you won't really get anywhere. Having NO1 and being very skinny it is hard to do these efficiently sadly 😢

I have watched EVERY DQT youtube video and THIS IS HANDS DOWN (er I mean thumbs, wrist...) the best. Everyone else talks about massage, shows massage, but never explains how correct massage is key. They may say it stretches the tendons, but nothing about the sheath and the core of this syndrome, or working the area to encourage the tendons to recoil and play nice again. 🥰. Seriously I assumed the massage was to help me COPE with the pain. I now know done successfully, it can correct the DQT. Truly GRATEFUL having watched and learned from you.

I went to urgent care because the pain was so bad. They said I have a little arthritis. Ugh! Telemedicine call with GP 2 days later and he recommended a thumb splint, which helps a lot but certain movements still cause excruciating pain.

thank you for sharing your expertise....doing my best to avoid surgery and I believe these massages will help me greatly....

WOW....I have a watched a ton of DQT videos and this has to be the best one I have seen. A lot of other videos will tell me to massage my forearm or twist my elbows while having my hand flat on the ground, but this seems to be the most effective for my specific DQT symptoms

Tbh I woke up one morning with severe wrist pain. I brushed it off cause you know I thought to myself “well maybe I just slept on it” . So letting it heal on its own was the path I chose to recovery. When I looked into this I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. All the symptoms were so similar. I immediately started doing some exercises and bam 4 weeks later I recovered. Take note I started doing the exercises after two weeks in of pain 😭😭😭
