Over the last few weeks, I have been continuing to look for ways to to rehab my left thumb. This has been going very well. The dime-sized lump that had accumulated from all of the tension has subsided quite a bit. In fact, I can barely feel it anymore when I do my self massage.

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.
