My left thumb has hurt at the lower joint for many years. I have not had it looked at or repaired. Many of the symptoms described in your case are similar, weekness, hard to make a fist, etc. I really notice it when putting bullets in my reloader or when loading mags. Opening a jar with my left hand is a no go.
I hit that portion of my hand with a 3 pound sledge hammer, full swing, over ten years ago. I think that may be the cause. 
eta: Burpee? We called them monkey fuckers or bends-and-thrusts. From my history, I have done more of those than most cross fitters.

Opened thread expecting a Key & Peele video. Leaving disappointed.
Good luck, OP. |

Our events always had a sense of urgency too: "Faster, faster......just keep moving slow and we will be here all fucking day. Faster ladies!!! We are just going to keep these up until I am tired! I want to see a cloud of sand! Faster! "
Urgently urgent. The hammer was bad. One of the only times the Vicodin actually worked.

I had that in the right hand, severe inflammation, caused carpal tunnel symptoms. I didn't have a cyst though, so eventually just had the tendon release surgery.
Good luck. |

Pain relief was almost immediate...the post surgical pain was nothing compared to the pain from the tendinitis and carpal tunnel. I'd even had a cortisone shot which only got me partial relief and only for a couple weeks. I had the surgery on Friday and was off pain meds entirely by Monday.
I was actually off work for a full month though, and had therapy three times a week, to make sure it was healed and recovered well enough to return to work. |

I realized that I butchered the first spelling of De quervain's in the title. The procedure took all of 15 min, it was gen anesthesia so I felt like I was in the drone zone all of yesterday. The site is stiff and sore, as to be expected. I'm off to binge watch The Soprano's and Justified.

I had the release surgery on this a few years ago... I was fully recovered within 2 or 3 weeks. (pretty much when the incision was 100% healed)
Now I'm getting the same tenosynovits on the outside of the wrist (closer to the pinky) |
