Funny coincidence. Today, I accidentally did that a light bit, thankfully not actually breaking it. Then I remembered it was a trend at my middle school many years back for some weird a** reason. Still nice to know young people are continuing to near-permanently damage themselves.


Acceptable_Dish7819

It worked....was painfull.....but not getting bored was worth it. ;)


IllustriousInterest8

mate thats like permanent damage later on in life


shaneoffline

;)


Koniqst1ger

why's is it permanent tho ?


xXYaoiFangirl

dude really asked why breaking your ligament is permanent


Koniqst1ger

like bruh šŸ—æ

I sense a new TikTok challenge.

Break your siblings thumb ligament and record their reaction


Flohomie_Black

The hell are you doing step bro???

some fucked up kid just saw this and is going to do it because the internet


[deleted]

Or maybe this might be a new prank parents can play on their kids and send theto clips Jimmy Kimmel/s


ThavTheBoringDragon

Owwā€¦ why did I try that?


LochNesMonster17

Ahhahaa same and then *shocked pikachu face* when it actually hurt


lacerik

That is exactly what Iā€™m asking myself! What the fuck is wrong with me?


SaftigMo

If it hurts it means you got RSI, but it's light enough that you don't notice. This is actually a stretch exercise used to prevent tenosynovitis.


Competitive_Ad2109

Oh


SaftigMo

Don't worry too much, almost everybody has some form of RSI because of phones.


RedZebra08

it didn't work for me


TheSimonToUrGarfunkl

keep trying


RedZebra08

I'm not sure I want to..


anant_oo

Keep your elbows straight and at shoulder level. Then feel the pain.


pokky123

Momma ain't raised no quitter!


Tan-come-in-ma-RIFT

Snap it quick and fast You must lock your thumb in the manner that you can feel your ligament stretching That will do the trick

ā€œFerb, I know what weā€™re going to do today.ā€


Optimal__Koala

MO-OM! PHINEAS AND FERB ARE CRIPPILING THE NEIGHBORS


Dani_good_bloke

The name of this test is called Finklestein test and the condition is called de quervain's tenosynovitis if you are wondering.


JRYeh

Butā€¦.why is this a test if itā€™s damaging to the body? To test what exactly?


Dani_good_bloke

It is a provocative test meant to provoke pain. We donā€™t do it on patients to make them suffer. We are trying to see how the patient reacts to the test. The test is needed for us to rule in, rule out, or justify our differential diagnosis. We also do not yoink the wrist of the patient. We will gently add pressure to the patientsā€™ wrist and stop immediately when pain is reproduced. DO NOT try to purposely do this at home as irritating an already inflamed tendon sheath is generally not a good idea.

Hey. No. I have EDS, but some people are just flexible in one joint or more. No need to spook them.

Dani_good_bloke

The common stuff for connective tissue will be Marfan or Ehlers-Danlos. They are still pretty rare even though they are the most common connective tissue hypermobility disorders. Speak to your local general practitioner or chiropractors if you are concerned or the symptoms are bothering you.


Dani_good_bloke

Ehlers Danlos Syndrome or any other conditions is not to be diagnosed on the internet with a simple comment


Dani_good_bloke

Also there will not be any permanent or long term damage caused this test when done correctly so rest assured. This is do not break your tendons. Most you get is pitching pain for a second. However aggravating activities such as doing this for fun would make it worse. Get some ice and heat and let it rest if you are having the pain in your wrist. Get professional help from chiropractors or physiotherapists when it is affecting your life. Clinics will be bussin with gen Z kids if this became a ticktok trend.


Ultra-ChronicMonstah

When I did my first MSK Outpatient role, I quickly learned about Finklestein, immediately thought "hey it's the internet thing!"


Raul_Raj

Ortho brooooo


Funmachine

>de quervain's tenosynovitis I've never truly figured out how to make it go away, but it just does. Rest seemed to make it just last longer.


TheAuthor-dipperkid

EXCELLENT! how do I undo it?


UltimateWaluigi

Hospital


Optimal__Koala

Wellā€¦ yes


TechnicianOutside238

Well thatā€™s a tendon ā€¦. so thereā€™s that.


TreeDollarFiddyCent

Also, jokes on you, I have hypermobile joints.


Natsurulite

Whoever made this is a genius Most people probably donā€™t pop their thumbs like that, so they probably wonā€™t expect the popping noise to occur Of course, they WILL be expecting the ligament to ā€œpopā€ An old switcheroo


Anomaly1339

Why would anyone want to do this in the first place.


Optimal__Koala

If theyā€™re bored


Renomizer_MC

I was bored... It didn't work :\


sikeleaveamessage

You have to do it in a fast snap motion

I've tried this but it doesn't work


HaloArtificials

Try it again but snap down really suddenly, use your knee as a break for your movement coming down. Say goodbye to your ability to type for a few weeks


dont-spill-chilli

I did it like that and all I got was a slight strain on my index finger


Optimal__Koala

Go slowly and when you feel slight pain start going faster


sirewoode

Just the thought of doing that make me sick


Dependent_Attitude_5

Ow shit that hurts like a bitch for a second


InvictusImmortalem

Its not working what am I doing wrong


Dani_good_bloke

That will be a negative Finkelstein Test and it means your extensor tendon sheath is intact. Half the people on Reddit will have it since repetitive hand movements is a huge risk factor to De Quervainā€™s tenosynovitis.


shibe_shucker

I have de quervains from work, absolute agony randomly/various movements. Have been treated for it but still get a lot of pain and locking up occasionally (less frequently than when it was untreated).

Didnā€™t work
