Tendono-elitritis caused by punching injuries on both hands...

[retroborg]

So, what are the best exercises one can do to strengthen the hands & wrists and fully recover from tendono-elitritis (Caused by punching injuries) on both hands/wrists?
So far, I have taken the following medications and physiotherapy for months, with little to no effect:

A) Electro-muscle/nerve graph twice (x2) (Nerves are fine and no sign of carpal syndrome)

B) X-Rays (No sign of arthritis)

C) Anti-inflammatory Medicine / pills:
1. Naprosyn / Naproxen (15days) (No Effect)
2. Arcoxia / Etoricoxib, MSD 90mg (15days) (No Effect)
3. Biofenac / Aceclofenac (30days) (No Effect)
4. XefoRapic / Iornoxicam (15days (No Effect)
5. Arcoxia / Etoricoxib, MSD 120mg (15days) (Helped 35-40% with the symptoms, but it could have been simply because of natural healing after such a long time which had passed from the initial injury that triggered this problem)

D) Physiotherapy (No laser) and special exercises instructed by the physiotherapist. (Helped and eased the symptoms a bit, but it seems that it acted more as a painkiller rather than an actual cure)

These irritations have been going on for 1.5 year now at a lesser or greater degree, but have been healing slowly and I am better now. However, my hands still get sore and feel an irritating pinch sensation every now and then, all over my hands.

As a result, I’ve stopped playing games fully / long sessions, for almost a year to help with the recovering procedure. However, I still type and use the mouse & keyboard and both hands are as strong as they used to be.

All 5 orthopedic doctors that examined me, ruled out surgery, so what are my other options to fully recover?

Any advice will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Stop punching things, including your clown.  Beyond that, I'd stick with whatever advice your doctorb has given you and/or try a chiropractor.

P.S. - The b is for bargain.

EDIT: Whoops!  I must have been asleep when I wrote this yesterday. For anyone who already read this, I meant to say you should look into "The Alexander Technique", not "Jin Shin Jyutsu". Those are two totally different things...

Here's an amazon link to the book my friends swear by:

ORIGINAL POST:
Just my own opinions/thoughts here...

I was a passenger in a car accident a few years back and came away from it with an odd muscle injury in my left shoulder blade/scapula area. Doctors said there is nothing they can do, surgery would probably make things worse. No chipped bone, no arthritis, no inflammation, no torn muscles, etc. Tough luck basically.

I decided to try physical therapy. Through electronic shock muscle therapy, massage, etc the pain/discomfort got better, but did not go away. They gave me "exercises" to do 2x EVERY DAY for the rest of my life. That was their "answer".

If I keep up with my exercises I'm "fine", but I still feel it. It's always there but to differing degrees depending on whether I'm doing the stretches or not.

Now, coming to my potential point - You might have some benefit by looking into "The Alexander Technique". Although at first I thought it sounded like nonsense, it basically boils down to the fact that we often subconsciously use our bodies in a way that is somewhat harmful on a daily basis. For example a person might slouch when they sit for long periods of time. They don't necessarily think about it, or realize it, but over time it can have a very damaging cumulative impact. By having someone step in and interven, they have the potential to correct their unhealthy habit.

Apparently quite often after an accident or injury people tend to hold/use their body differently because of the pain/discomfort. Due to this, new unhealthy unconscious ways of using our bodies can develop.

So for me, somehow I'm tensing my left scapula/all the muscles around it on a daily basis and so the discomfort continues.

So perhaps for you, after your injuries, you've unconsciously starting using/holding your hands differently then you used to. Since this pattern continues so does the pain/discomfort.

Just some food for thought. Like I said at first I thought it was crap, but I have some good friends who swear by it after using it to recover from injuries. I've played with it a little bit and was impressed by, if nothing else, the greater awareness of the use of my own body. Something that, if you are in martial arts/that's how you got the injuries, you might respect.

I don't know of this ailment that you speak of but I broke my carpel bone in my hand twice punching mother f*ckers, one time I was drunk.  Anyway, the doctor told me to learn to practice "Conflict Resolution".  And I told him "Yeah I did practice that, there was a conflict and I resolved it by punching him in the head."

Holy crap, retroborg is back! How have you been, my friend?

Have you considered chiropractic? That would be my suggestion. Maybe there is something mechanical that a chiropractor can do to stop those sensations.
