    Re: Wrist, Forearm, Elbow issues

    Hi there, I have the odd ache around my wrist which is expect working in IT with RSI etc but my issues are definitely more into my elbow/forearm. No pain really just a strange sensation of pressure/tightness and after looking online at Cubital Tunnel Syndrome my symptoms seem very close to this but have been told i do noth have this by Physio/MSK so am at a total loss. Have not done any grip strengthening exercises as this seems more of a nerve entrapment somewhere in the arm/elbow/shoulder but it is getting someone to prove this which is the hard part to get some treatment.

    These tests helps to support the diagnose but Doctors cannot just rely on these tests 100%, they have to consider your symptoms and then signs too. Sometime test gives you false results. There is some nerve entrapment as per your symptoms, I will suggest, do some Arms nerve stretching exercises with that neck muscle exercises. At night try to put hot pack under your neck for 10 mins and while sleeping give a full support to your affected arm. Let me know if you get some relief or not. Hope you will get better sleep with this small effort.
