Anyone ever heal from this shit? I'm going on three weeks without lifting now and it's driving me fucking nuts.

Did you just have a baby?

No but I had a town job that had me weedwacking and picking trashbags and shit, I think that's what did it

Here, faggot.

Conservative therapy — We suggest initial therapy with a forearm-based thumb spica splint with the interphalangeal joint free. The splint may be worn according to patient preferences. Full-time wear of the splint is not necessary, since there is no evidence that immobilization alters the disease course. We also suggest a concurrent trial of NSAIDs for pain relief, unless contraindicated by gastrointestinal, renal, or heart disease. NSAIDs should be taken for a maximum duration of two to four weeks. (See "Initial treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in adults", section on 'NSAIDs'.)

The evidence to support the efficacy of splinting in relieving pain from de Quervain tendinopathy is limited to observational studies [11-13]. As an example, a retrospective study comparing the use of splinting and NSAIDs, splinting plus glucocorticoid injection, or glucocorticoid injection alone in patients with de Quervain tendinopathy found that 88 percent of patients with minimal symptoms improved with splinting alone [11]. However, the success rate of splinting and NSAIDs dropped to 32 percent among patients with moderate to severe symptoms.

Practice regarding the use of occupational therapy is highly variable, and there are few published data [14,15]. Occupational therapy may provide patients with useful information regarding activity modification for symptom reduction. In addition, hand and wrist exercises may improve strength and range of motion after prolonged immobility.

Get a wrist wrap, it'll stop you from moving hand much, fixed mine in 2 weeks

Watch Mark Rippetoe's Art of Manliness video on the overhead press. The grip technique he shows there cured 90% of my wrist tendonitis.

Also, a wrist splint let me keep lifting in the short-term. They're expensive but worth it if you're serious about lifting. You can find them in pretty much any pharmacy.

Justin?

Got my Xbox 360 a bit over 5 years ago....
Right thumb ached like a b*tch 2 weeks into it.
Started holding 2 10 lbs plates together above the floor with thumb / finger for count to 15.
Pain went away. Can now pinch bottle caps closed.
