Tenth session for thumb/wrist
(Still not allowed to use mouse and keyboard. Hence the short sentences.)
Recap regarding pain:
- Pulling pain at the wrist just below the base of the thumb when I moved my clenched fist upward.
- Sharp pain at around the same spot as above when I push the back of my palm towards me.
The stretching exercise worsened the second pain above but the strengthening exercise lessend the pain. Nether exercise eased the first pain. In fact, the pain level increased.
Noticeable muscle loss around the pain area. the therapist remarked.
He applied massage and ultrasound treatment and got me to do some strengthening exercises.
For the next one week, I'll be doing these exercises:
(1) Hold 2x1kg dumbbells, facing up. Don't grip hard. Move down all the way, then back to neutral. 4 x 10 rep, once a day.
(2) Hold 1kg dumbbell, freezing down. Don't grip hard. Move up all the way, then back to neutral. 4 x 10 reponce a day.
Still don't use mouse and keyboard. Can resume swimming.
