4 Exercises for Radial Nerve Pain

[@mikaelacather6462]

Been to numerous drs, told to do PT for tennis elbow, had cortisone shots, MRIs done and drs ruled out all diagnosable elbow injuries. I was told there's no test for diagnosing some with Radial tunnel syndrome, just ruling out all of the other possible injuries first. I've had a kink in my neck and crippling nerve pain from both elbows down to the tops of hands for 3 years now. Acupuncture has been the only thing that has help me but I will definitely start doing these exercises. I want to fix my problem so I can workout and lift weights again. I feel optimistic after watching this video, so thank you!

[@RehabScience]

You definitely could be dealing with radial tunnel syndrome. I hope these exercises offer you some relief!

[@hb4100]

Hey Mikaela. I've been dealing with similar symptoms for the past 3 years. Every time I return to the gym, my arm somehow gets worse. Did you find a solution finally?

[@JasonKidman]

@@hb4100 Following ... and same :(

[@JasonKidman]

Did you have success with anything? I to am dealing with Radial tunnel syndrome... and EKG shows its likely impinged around my elbow. Curious what helped you if anything yet? (Im going on a couple years)

[@kennethsteel6220]

I have been dealing with radial nerve pain for the past two weeks, and haven't been getting relief from steroids and muscle relaxers prescribed by my doctor. The "flossing" exercise provided almost immediate pain relief, and I got a lot of functionality back right away. Thanks for the help!

[@isæyuh]

Do you recommend doing these before or after a workout?

[@TheSupradvr]

I pinched my nerve about 1 week of pain after, the flossing helped me right away and also I felt it on my nerve as well

[@THEDC777]

Ive had the same issue now for 6weeks. Constant pain, Numb tricep that cant push & fingers numb. Ive had 4 steroid shots & muscle relaxers & no relief. I stumbled across this & its helped some. I hope these exercises get me thru the next 2weeks bc thats when i go to a chiropractor

[@JoshMunizza]

[@briandesjardins728]

I've been dealing with this for 7 years. It has depressed me sp bad as I've been a weight lifter, all my life. Thank you!!!!

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!! i have had this radial nerve pain since 3 weeks and this helped a lot.

[@invaliduserid5807]

I've had sciatica so bad before that it would keep me awake but I got physical therapy with the VA and it all but went away. Lately, I've been having pinched nerve pain in the top of my forearm and it's been making it hard to get to sleep. I'm ad I looked it up because I got partial instant relief and I'm sure if I keep doing it, that it will be relieved too. Thank you!!

[@RehabScience]

You’re welcome! I hope these exercises help reduce the nerve pain in your forearm.

[@johnmcneilly7287]

That last exercise really lights my arm up wow like 220 volts. 4 weeks ago all I did was roll on a rubber ball and somehow pinched this Radial nerve . lucky me

[@JadhavNi]

Instant Relief is what I received. Thanks, Rehab Science. will continue to do this exercises

[@sross9501]

After a long couple of weeks with worsening nerve pain from a flaring prior injury, I was honestly panicked a little at the idea of stretching my wrist extensor muscle, I was sure it was going to hurt. It was a little uncomfortable at first, but by the end of the 30 second stretch, that actually felt so good. What a helpful video, thanks so much for posting this!

[@RehabScience]

[@IamKimsational]

Thank you for this video. I've been suffering radial nerve palsy with tremendous burning pain and numbness from 3" above my elbow down to my fingers. I'm going to try this regimen to see if it helps. The skin burning is so severe that I cannot tolerate wearing my wrist brace. I'll implement these starting today. Happy Holidays!

[@RehabScience]

I’m sorry to hear your symptoms have been so severe. I hope you find these exercises to be helpful.

[@ChristopherZ11]

Great video, really relieved some burning tenderness between my wrist and middle forearm. By the time I got to the twisting arm, turning neck exercise the pain was gone. I wish I found this 5 days ago.

[@RehabScience]

So glad the video was helpful!

[@Ken-tp2eo]

The first exercise extending my arm out pushing down on my hand instantly felt like it gave me relief! My redial nerve inflammation is right on top of my forearm below my elbow about 3-4 inches. I'm definitely going to be doing these exercises more! Hopefully it will help with the numbness in my hands at night

[@RehabScience]

I’m so glad to hear the exercises are helping already!

[@mikey_zari]

This pain is no joke. whenever it happens it makes my arms basically crippled. My arms start shivering and i experience muscle weakness and extreme pain to a point that even moving my arms is a torture . It always happens when i train jiu jitsu or wrestling so it stops me from training and doing basic activities for the next 2 days

[@jacqueenofthenight]

Good to know that whenever I've been experiencing radial nerve pain, i like to do that twisting motion with my arm and wrist! I've been having pain particularly between my middle and pointer fingers. I'm hoping these kinds of exercises will help after it's been able to rest so the inflammation can go down a little.

[@RehabScience]

It’s funny how our bodies will often create movement intuitively to get rid of pain and discomfort. I hope these more specific movements help you!

[@kotosquito]

Might you do a video about triangular interval syndrome (pinching of radial nerve behind the shoulder, between triangle drawn by the teres major, long head of triceps, and the humerus/lateral head of triceps). I have pain in my shoulder (lifting arm above head hurts) going all the way down my arm, and I fail to see how that could be just "tennis elbow". I suspect some of the suffering commenters below might be having this problem, which the four exercises from this video might improve but not resolve.

[@RehabScience]

I’ll try to cover that issue and region of the body soon.

[@ElizabethFisher-i4k]

So happy to come across your exercises. I have radial nerve damage from a misplaced needle during a covid booster vaccination; have been in pain for 5 months and I have always had a strong pain tolerance. I was initially unable to sleep more than 3 hours per night from stabbing burning pain and unable to move my arm at all or dress myself, these exercises have been extremely beneficial more than the acupuncture and osteopathy treatments I have attended. Thank you so much.

[@RehabScience]

Sorry to hear about your radial nerve injury, but glad to hear that these exercises are helping a bit.

[@yungrut6553]

not exacatly sure if its radail nerve pain but moderate use of these excerises cant hurt and will be a good trial. thanks

I had a bone tumor (benign) on my radial head and I cannot supinate my arm, maybe a few degrees past neutral. 100% has to do with radial nerve. Thanks for the vid. Hoping to get my supination back.

Very good exercises i also have a rip tendon 50% of the fibre is gone. I havent work for a year and half. Any good exercis3s to help me with my tendon.

[@RehabScience]

Which tendon is injured? If it is your wrist extensor tendon, then the exercises below will help strengthen the tendon. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bou3iYqbbZaebqcsi=fBHTbjIbewh9QR99

[@miloice74]

Hi, my pain are more on the tricep, neck and some tightness on the pectorals. I did have some flaring across the wrist. Visibly, the radial nerve is protruding more pronounced in the problematic arm on the forearm. It affects protraction of the shoulder at the end range of a press with soreness at the back deep in the delts. I do not experience any tingling numbness. It's pain and tightness. I have shoulder issues on both arms but the right is alot more limiting with these specific pain spots that is confusing me. Therapist and orthopaedic have repeatedly tell me its the rotator cuffs but it feels so different on both arms and i have regain ability to do pull ups and bench press. I still continue to train the rotator cuff faithfully but the pain points on the tricep and back of the delts never improve. When i come across the anatomy of radial nerve, it hits me that the pain spots seem to run along where the radial nerve is.

[@Gumbi1012]

Wow so i thought this was a kind of tendonopathy. I definitely have this, and I'm pretty sure it has caused pain raidating all the way down to my left ring finger, which doesnt not like to be in a closed fist postion for long when gripping hard. No loss of strength however (minimal at least). When I lift my finger and resist this wirh my other hand i can feel tingling running up my forearm. Thanks for the video

[@RehabScience]

I’m glad the video was helpful! Best wishes with your recovery process!

[@peter-iq5en]

I have peripheral nerve entrapment in my left hand and have found 3 of 4 of these help more than what my Dr asked me to do following an arthritis exercise video, I have lost movement in my left hand and my thumb is numb, is there any further exercise that may help?

[@DAG-f2z]

Do you recommend applying heat to forearm for pins and needles along with exercise? Thank you.

[@RehabScience]

You can try ice or heat as they both have research for reducing pain. People vary on which one works better, so I would experiment with them and see if you notice any positive benefits.

[@dr.ayansarkar1028]

Very informative video Sir🙂

[@RehabScience]

Hello, what could be the cause for almost full wrist extension palsy happening once for maybe half a minute after waking up in the morning, then fully going away? Also some occasional minor tingling during the day at random times (especially in the small finger).

[@candikane30]

I have vestibular issues so i can't lay down on the foam roller. Can i do another exercise that will have the same benefit? Thanks

[@priyadarshibhattacharjee5088]

I am unable to flex my distal joint of thumb and fore finger. And i have numbness in lateral part of fore arm, anterior part of arm and shoulder. Please suggest some exercises to improve my condition.

[@thrillbilly6147]

Will radial nerve pain pass through the Bicep and into the thumb? I spent most of last night’s bedtime reeling with this pain in both arms. And it’s still rearing its head throughout today. Have been battle issues from pinched nerve C 4, C5, C6 for several years and I use most of your suggestions and they work. Recovering from open heart surgery now and I can’t use the foam roller right now.

[@RehabScience]

Pain passing through that region and those cervical segments usually has to do with the median nerve. Here is a video for that nerve. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2XZh42aitedfJIsi=HRtTGoRqTR3caNoM

As a former hardcore gamer who is moving more towards maybe 1 hour sessions, this feels good. Do you think nerve floss helps the lollipop wrist?

[@anonymousf454]

I can do all kinds of streaches and massages, but I have fingers that curl when I flex my wrist up. Very weak, i think I have entrapment at the elbow. Been like this for years, i think it started from a sholder impingement.

[@NobodyCares6996]

Is it safe to do other radial nerve exercises along with this or is that too much?

[@RehabScience]

It really varies from person to person. If your symptoms flareup, then you will know that the volume of exercise is too high.

[@NobodyCares6996]

​@@RehabScience thanks. I got your book in the mail today. I'm glad I ordered it because I now understand the three phases and I would be doing these out of step. I'm going to concentrate on the first two neck routines and do phase 1 for a good 3 weeks before I move on. It's hard for me to gauge pain because I'm so used to living in chronic pain that it's just easier for me to go buy a very liberal timeline. I have several issues that I need to address but I might be going under the knife for hernia surgery. I either have a hernia, or two, or I have nerve damage. I won't know until a couple weeks from now. Therefore, I need to stay away from any resistance training at the moment. I'm a weightlifter so I'm not too incredibly worried about needing to gain strength Right now because the exercises you show are ones that I have done regularly. But eventually I will need to get back on them. The book is great, by the way.

[@RehabScience]

Thank you for ordering a copy! The three phases in the book will help you learn how to move forward gradually so that the area can heal and you are less likely to provoke your symptoms. @@NobodyCares6996

[@figgettit]

what about wartenberg's point?

[@KBradAdams]

So is Radial Tunnel Syndrome from the neck or elbow?

[@RehabScience]

Radial tunnel syndrome is related to entrapment of the radial nerve near the elbow. However, some people do have compromise of the nerve roots in the neck that contribute to the radial nerve, so that area may need to be addressed as well.

[@marykaibrandenburg5235]

I’ve got classic symptoms of radial nerve irritation. My wrist extension feels weak and unnatural, numbness in thumb and posterolateral aspect of hand and forearm. This is five weeks after a traumatic shoulder impact that broke my clavicle. I came off a motorbike. The radial nerve issue has been getting worse over the weeks. I’m really struggling to fully extend my elbow as well. I’m gonna try these exercises but not the angel (due to clavicle)

[@jrr1631]

I can't even do the last exercise it shocks my fingers and top of hand so bad!

That particular variation is likely too stressful for your radial nerve right now. I would just stick with the ones you can do that don’t exacerbate your symptoms.

I have had pain in my elbow for a year now. I saw my milleniel purple and blue haired doctor and she said it was tennis elbow and it will go away by itself. Basically she was saying I would go away by myself. So half a year later I find these videos and within a week my radial nerve pain is 70% gone. I want to go back and tell my milleniel doctor that she is an idiot but then she will probably say I verbally assaulted her and call the police. Then she will go on stress leave for anxiety and depression for the next two years. Jeezuz doctors are dipshit these days. I'm pissed off now. Lol

Been to 7 different PTs, 1 chiro and 2 massage therapists and still no resolution. Been treated for pinched cervical nerve, tennis elbow etc, but no one thought to explore radial tunnel syndrome 😢.
