Thumb that cannot bend on its own
symptom
Two weeks ago, I suddenly started practicing a piece that I hadn't played in a long time.
Perhaps because it was a difficult piece I hadn't played in a long time, my thumb started to hurt every time I used it.
Gradually, bending movements began to become difficult, so he began doing his own rehabilitation in the bath, which loosens the muscles in his fingers.
Then, I could no longer bend my fingers and the pain only increased.

Treatment and progress
[First time]
When examining the muscles involved in bending and straightening the fingers, specific muscle tension was found.
To relieve muscle tension, acupuncture was performed on pressure points on the shoulders and back.
Although the finger still wouldn't bend, the pain was reduced.
After that, acupuncture was continued at the same acupoints.
[2nd to 9th times]
Gradually, my fingers became able to bend, and although I still couldn't bend the first joint, I was able to grip frying pans and bowls when cooking.
[10 times]
Since the last time, I've been able to pull the zipper easily without feeling any pain.
[10 to 13 times]
You will begin to be able to bend the first joint on your own.
There is a double click when bending.
[14 times]
The clicking action became smoother, and I found myself bending my fingers more naturally.
[15 times]
Immediately after the last treatment, my fingers started to bend naturally.
Therefore, preventive acupuncture was performed and the treatment was completed.
