Hi.
I had the same case recently: minor De Guervain. Here is what I did:
1) went to an orthopedist to have checked out
2) the treatment was: light stretching, massaging & strengthening drills for that area that were prescribed by him
3) wore a splint at night for 3-4 days and was careful how I sleep
4) lay off the texting on phone and paid attention how I wrote while on laptop
5) the grip on comp bells while doing goblet squats and halos changed for a bit
I was healed in less than 2 weeks.
Hope this helps.
I’ve made the S&S protocol part of my daily life for over 100 days now and I have no plans to quit anytime soon. I feel that it’s making me stronger physically and mentally. So many times I’ve thought about quitting but in the end I stay on course.
The program has yet to fail me. So why should I fail the program?
But recently I developed some wrist pain on my left hand. I think I overdid it with the CoC grippers by overgreasing the groove. From what I can tell, it seems like a minor case of De Quervain’s syndrome. I’m able to do swings with no pain. TGUs, however, are tricky. When using my left hand for support, I do feel some pain but it’s tolerable. However, when the bell rests on my left wrist/arm, I do feel pain. The heavier the bell, the higher the pain. But it’s never to the point that I can’t get through a set, even when going heavy. Recently I’ve been doing light TGUs with a 16kg.
I’m just concerned that I might be preventing my body from healing. I’ve heard that at times it’s good to work through some pain versus keeping it immobile but I’m not sure if this is one of those times.
Has anyone delt with De Quervain’s syndrome? I’d like to get some feedback on how to approach this situation.
