    Re: Scapula and Ulnar Nerve Problems

    A few things:

    * it's been a few years where you've had the problem. It's likely the problem won't go away over night - how long have you been having physio for now?

    * You mentioned you're shoulders being sore or out of place - have you been getting treatment to that area? Where has the treatment been directed to, what has it involved?

    * The fact that nothing showed up on Wikipedia reference-linkMRI does not exclude those areas from being a source of your symptoms. MRI will not show up many causes of pain e.g. muscle tightness, fascial restriction, Wikipedia reference-linkfacet joint tightness, neural irritation - which all may be a cause of your problems.

    To me it sounds as if your ulnar nerve is being trapped in your shoulder - original location of pain suggests that, as does your agg activites. However, your physio should be explaining these things to you anyway and it should match up with any physical examination done on you.

    Cheers

    Re: Scapula and Ulnar Nerve Problems

    Hi,
    I completey agree with the aboce physio and her suggestions as well. I have seen some similar kind of issues in m y recent practice. Cervical mobs with some neural stretching should give some ease and relief from pain. Howeer as mentioned earlier it is not an overnite thing. Since it is at chronic stage I would recommend of doing a Wikipedia reference-linkMRI as well.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks
