How to get rid of tendonitis in hand?

If you’re reading this, chances are your hand feels like it’s been hit by a hammer. Don’t worry, it’s not because the universe hates you (or maybe it is). You might have tendonitis – an inflammation of the tendons that connect muscle to bone. It’s usually caused by repetitive movement and can be downright painful. So how do we get rid of it? Don’t fret, we have some hilarious tips for you!

Diagnosis: Is It Really Tendonitis?

Before following our expert advice, make sure to seek medical help if the pain persists or affects your daily routine. Sawbones (It means doctors) always say prevention is better than cure, but who listens to those guys anyway?

In order to know whether what you’re experiencing is actually ‘tendonitis’, consider these symptoms:

  • Pain
  • Stiffness
  • Swelling
  • Crunching Sound on Movement

If yes then Congrats! You’re part of our club.

Warm Up

Guess why athletes warm up before practice/games? Not just because they want everyone else in awe while they do cartwheels but for good reason too – It prepares their bodies and muscles for intense work out and reduces the risk of injuring them.
Take a page out from their book; truly apologize with yourself about not doing any form of exercise since birth, put on some funky music (preferable something light instead of Tool) Let’s raise those heart rates!
Wake up those muscles with safer simple stretches and warm-ups,

  1. Wrist Circles- 10 seconds each direction x5(repeat)

  2. Flex & Stretch- Open both palms facing each other, fold fingers towards chest area hold there for ten seconds.(x3 repeats)

3.Spread Those Fingers Wide- Keep your spread open wide like Spider-man does when he shoots webs (or when he’s ecstatic about something), push downward for 5-7 seconds, then relax. Repeat about 10 times.

Now, you’re ready to take on the task, (It’s not as easy as yesterday’s breakfast but hang in there)

Give Your Hand A Rest

If you’ve been constantly using your precious mitt in one specific way, that might be your problem. It is like staring at a screen for hours; eventually everything hurts and it starts acting haunted by Task Manager (perfect timing of course).You should give yourself a break and rest it before the endgame comes along.

  1. Modify activities or movements- Start typing with some buffer time instead of frantically punching keys all day long..

  2. Wider Range of Movement/Stretching Exercise- Focus on providing an effort to use hands comfortably in new range than just exercising what causes tension due to repetitive move.

3.Occasional Ice Pack – Use ice packs from time-to-time on affected area especially after any strenuous activity that requires heavy-use.( Be careful not burn your mitts)

Braces For Living The Best Life(Without Pain!)

If resting fails – bless thee comfort-seeking devices more than ever! Get freaky with these creative ideas:

We present some nifty kinds below recommended by expert folks across world,

1.Wrist Brace(Worn At Night)- You might look angry while sleeping because we keep biting water bottles during our dream journey,but lets stop our wrists from curling up into fists unconsciously hence the brace is useful after all plus extra benefit: no hand punching!

2.Elastic Bandage- According to physical therapists this seems helpful if wrapped around palm allowing padding underneath damaged tendons which they themselves have admired repeatedly.

3.Splints-Takeaway those risk-taking moments during high-load activities holding that precious gadgetry tight under awe-striking splints would work best!

4.Sauna Glove- This is pure construction utility stuff but can also be a relief to get extra blood circulation around if wore before and after any hand-intensive activities.

House on Fire solutions

If all else fails, take quick ‘on-the-spot’ pain killers during unbearable times; we’re not excluding medicine like Ibuprofen or paracetamol. (We haven’t forgotten herbal benefits too wink wink). While looking for more comfortable options, these might help you persist through long working hours.

1.Mind-Breaks- Don’t use your hands frantically or give yourself unnecessary tasks which includes typing 24/7 at the same point!(watch out students!) Especially now that social distancing norms are being followed(Plus points: Avoiding STRESS!)

2.Voice Commands & Dictation Software- The future has arrived! With voice recognition devices installed in every gadget nowadays why stick with archaic ways of communication? Give your fingers a break and start dictating..(time to sharpen those public speaking skills)

3.Remember: If it hurts to do then Dont!!

Call In Reinforcements!

While going solo seems exhilaratingly experimental,it’s never bad recruiting folks round – friends,family,colleagues,chatty-neighbors they inclusive! Teamwork makes dream work so let them pitch in,

Here are some possible perk-ups:

1.Washing clothes\Doing Dishes:The regular mundane everyday chore usually done individually,pitch in with dishwasher soap bars together where feasible..

2.Rotating Responsibilities – Seeing Life from another’s Perspective:Sometimes seeing things differently,start switching roles with others particularly who don’t repetitively use their hands extensively

3.Branch Out into New Hobbies – Learning A New Skill Together:Is there something new you’ve always wanted to learn starting Jazz Guitar,Blogging,Welding for making DIY?

There’s no better time than the present so hit two birds with one stone,learn something new and relieve the pressure off your agonizing wrists.

4- Massage:The more you give,the more you get. True enough isn’t it?,Since giving a massage seems to work as an exchange currency between them near neck – back issues similarly sharing love via massages would be great too!

In Conclusion

From warm-ups to recruiting others every option of relief has been mentioned above now its upto you follow suit.Portraying as someone who could double up for Mr.Bean I know we’re funnier than most but that doesn’t mean tendonitis is any less of severe issue.So take care of yourselves.See a doctor if things escalate.Try out unconventional remedies,and let us know what worked when all else fails which includes trying not freak-out and remain positive even in hard times!
