  i think i have trigger points in my thumbs. :( i try to not even use my thumbs at all during massage. I use proper mechnics (but tips are welcome) can trigger points be released safely and effectively? Other wise what do you guys recommend ? I need a massage myself very like yesterday lol and i do hydrotherapy (probably should every few days) Thanks in advance!

  Looking at a source that starts with the area of pain and traces it back to probable triggerpoints. An example is www.triggerpoints.net. I worked out some hand and forearm issues recently with some T-T app finger exercises. YouTube has a video of the finger exercises.

  In your thumb???? Never heard of that. R u referring to your thenar eminence. U might feel like your thumb is inflamed at the joint??? U can take anti inflammatories, and ice it. If the pain is referral pain u can take the trigger points out with the elbow of the opposite arm or the corner of a counter. Really anything with a dull point. I use a thumb saver.

  

  Debbie T. replied:

  The trigger points can be in your biceps, in your interosseus near the thumb, forearm or other places. You just feel the referred pain in your thumb fingers. If you don't find any, then explore the possibility of arthritis. But either way the finger fitness video will help as does ice.
