    PLEASE HELP ME, this injury is taking over my life, RSI injury, minor peripheral nerv

    Taping
    My name is james , i'm 22 year's of age, and i have been receiving treatment from the NHS for 8 month's with no answers and no treatment plan. I injured both forearm's early september time of last year "2009" from weight lifting, the injury is very much affecting my life.

    My story.

    I've been weight lifting for the past 3 and half year's, had a minor injury through weightlifting, I damaged both Wikipedia reference-linkrotator cuff's through lifting weight's which was treated, and now is healed.
    10 month's ago I started to isolate the forearms alot more through weight lifting, and
    noticed a a sudden tingling/burning sensation throughout both forearm's, with dull sharp triger point's throughout both forearm's, I also noticed both elbow's seemed to flare up and was tender to touch, but that settled down after a month. Both forearm's feel very weak, typing seems to bring on the symptoms right away, both forearm feel's tight, as if the the muscle is being squeezed, also front of hand*knuckle side* and wrists, skin feel's tight. symptoms overall feel's like a hand grasping both forearm's, chinese burn sensation? I have completely stopped training, and have stopped all activities which falre up my arm's.

    I've already had physio treatment for the first two month's of the injury, then i was sent to see a plastic surgeon who deal's with nerve compression release, I was given two sterriod injection's which didn't work ect.. i've currently had nerve conduction studies done which showed no nerve compression, but as you know minor peripheral nerve injury's tend to fall of the radar. I never saw the same consultant,which added to the confusion of the situation. the last consultant i saw was convinced the next step was to see a rheumatology consultant, because "the NCS showed no nerve damage or compression, therefore it's not a nerve related injury"

    I think i have a minor peripheral nerve injury's, RSI, Or non specific arm pain.. but no one seem's to no what it is, and i'm being passed round like a football......

    I have no idea what to do, or what action to take. i don't know what type of treatment i should be looking for. this is affecting my work life, and every aspect of my day to day life

    apologies for this poorly constructed email, it really hurt's when i type
    is there any info, or advice you can give me? any good uk NHS based clinics or clinical trials for this?

    I have listed my referral's
