Just found this video and LOVE to see a Dr. who lifts weights! I've been lifting for 25 years and am experiencing this same type of pain. Many thanks for your service in doing this video for us!

I was diagnosed with ECU Tendinitis in March and I received about 6 cortisone injections over a 10 month period. I use the ice on my wrist but I am still in alot of pain. Thank you for this video, I feel relief to know that I am not crazy. Because sometimes you feel like your going through pain episodes alone. So to see a Dr. discuss your issues gives me relief.

Thank you so much!

After my fall from motorbikes, I have a wrist pain and TFCC tears, I consult couple specialized dotors which cost me 100 euros for 10 minutes taping on his computer and I cannot ask any questions about my pain.
But your 5 minutes of videos may explain my problem. Thanks for sharing !

Comment from a guitar player! Thank you for this great video. I have this issue currently in my strumming hand for the guitar. I was shocked by the absolutely incredible pain that I had for two days which basically immobilized my hand, but then quickly went away to a large degree. My physician diagnosed this issue EXACTLY the way that you did. I found your MRI image and your drawings extremely helpful in further describing the condition. I am in the process of rest and getting back into playing (and other activities) slowly and with common sense in terms of duration of play, etc. etc. I'll also be looking into a proper brace that helps my right, strumming hand maintain proper positioning and extension. Thanks again!

Excellent video! Thank you! The drawing on the arm was a great visualization.

Thanks a lot, I've been getting lots and lots of pain due to competitive armwrestling and now I have a video for it thank you a lot I learned today

[hecope]

Super helpful. Exactly what I have after doing to many biceps curls. Now off to get a wrist widget for this. Lesson learned :-) thanks

Hello. I'm from Latin America. I have the same condition. (extensor carpi ulnaris subluxation) mine was a little more advanced, the tendon jumped outward, and I had to stop working to get it back into place, it took 8 months, that's right, and it was horrible. And I had to rehabilitate myself, because the doctors only told me to rest. It is best to stop activities, where you continually use your hands, and do small exercises for your hands (tendinitis). There are many videos, also use heated towels, use buckets wrapped in towels. Use wrist support and a good diet. I can't find videos in Spanish where they diagnose these cases.

Thank you for being thorough in your explanation. I also appreciate the drawing too. I got this injury while pushing off on my mattress while wearing an Apple Watch.

I use hammers a lot at work, hitting metal repeatedly and I also work out with lots of movement around my wrists to strenghten these parts. I had real bad pain whenever I move my right wrist in certain ways for the past couple days and this explains exactly what I feel! Thank you for this informative video, I'll rest my hand for a while as much as I can.

This was the most informative and helpful video on ECU and tx that I have seen!! Tysm.

[nadeemsmarty]

I have the same thing from doing bicep curls with a straight rod on the machine or bar. Keeping this in mind and will have to take lifelong precautions.

[dranato]

Thank you so much for helping me understand my pain. I arm wrestle and have terrible pain in that exact area when i supinate. I will give it rest and use the brace you suggested. Again thank you good sir

I noticed the snapping every second while I was crocheting. I’ve never noticed my wrist snap so much before. Thanks for this super helpful video, I just bought the wrist widget and hopefully it helps!

[JesseLandau]

Did you actually get a tattoo of your ECU? That's dedication!

[georgegamboa]

Thank you for a very informative video on the ECU. I definitely relate and will look into a wrist widget for some relief.
