I have been having some serious thumb pain ever since returning from Texas when I went to the Metroplex Mayhem at Metroflex contest in January. After the bending portion of the contest was finished, I had this ridiculous pain in my thumb webbing that extended down into my thumb pad. To describe this pain accurately – it was so bad that I could not lift the Blob. I first lifted this thing in 2003, and haven’t really ever had a hard time pulling it up since that same year, so to not be able to lift it was quite alarming. I knew I had to go about getting this fixed using extreme measures.

I made a post about this in my workout log, Fire Walk with Me, on the Diesel Forum. Check it out here.

I thought I would take a moment and make a post about what I have been doing lately, because I am finally getting some relief and if anyone out there is having similar problems, maybe some of these measures can help you out.
