3 Exercise To Relieve Arm Pain, Numbness, Pins and Needles

Arm pain, arm numbness, & pins and needles in the arm can come from the nerves getting caught between structures along their pathway along the arm. Nerve glides (sometimes called nerve flossing, or nerve sliders) can help to release these nerves. It’s a bit like flossing your nerves. These 3 nerve mobilisation exercises work on the 3 main nerves that run down your arm. They’re quick & simple physical therapy exercises that can give rapid relief from arm nerve pain.
Median nerve gliding can help to relieve compressive neuropathies like carpal tunnel syndrome, pronator syndrome, or lacertus fibrosus syndrome. An Ulnar nerve floss can help other types of peripheral neuropathies like cubital tunnel syndrome and ulnar tunnel syndrome. And a radial nerve floss can help Wartenbergs syndrome, radial tunnel syndrome, or posterior interosseous nerve syndrome.

shoulder feels like ive got torn rotator cuff.. tennis elbow comes on.. get cramps in my left hand and pins and needles in my fingers.. collar bone area really hurts.. my X-rays show trouble at c5

[@ShaneSchimpf]

From the armpit through the elbow but not always into the fingers. My wrists however are always tight and pop when I'm stretching them. Does that suggest more than just an ulnar nerve problem in your opinion?

[@johnguest4525]

Had an issue with my left ulna nerve for several years, numbness in the bottom edge of forearm and hand, numbness in pinky and strangely just half of the ring finger on the pinky side. The other side of the finger is fine. Will give the exercise a go. Many thanks for the video, keep up the good work.

OMG. That first one really helped me with my upper arm. Thank you.

[@k.jespersen6145]

!!! I didn't know that this could be "released!" 2020 was particularly memorable not just for the world health problems, but because of a pinched ulnar nerve while having to isolate. Saving this video for next time that nerve decides to cause trouble.

Tweaked my shoulder a few weeks back picking up my toddler. Found a video that did a test for each nerve. Seemed it might be ulnar so I searched for a specific exercise and found your video. Went away within the first 10 reps! Thanks!!

[@ShaneSchimpf]

You're reading my mind again, Doc. I'm beyond tired of the ulnar nerve pain in my right arm. I followed along with you as you did all 3. Definitely felt tightness and possibly a bit of release. I'll add these to my daily stretch routine. Any relief at this point would be an improvement. I'll be checking out your program, too. Might be just what im needing. Thank you again for another helpful video.

[@BodyFixExercises]

Cheers Shane! Two major causes of Ulnar nerve pain are (i)leaning on your elbow (on a desk or something right near where the nerve passes over the funny bone), or (ii)bending your elbow excessively (particularly in bed). When you bend your elbow a lot (and lie on it that way) it stretches the nerve over the funny bone, irritating it. So watch out for those two things!

[@ShaneSchimpf]

@BodyFixExercises guilty as charged. As a side sleeper, I try to keep my arms extended in front of me throughout the night. And the leaning on my elbows, I do my best to avoid that for the reasons you mentioned. Any pressure causes zingers. I find myself snapping my arm often hoping itll subside. There's nothing like nerve pain.

[@rolandrush5172]

Got pain in my arm a few weeks ago and I thought it was just my infraspinatus had gotten tight but after massaging it didn’t subside. I recently learned of nerve stretching and flossing and found your video and this helped a lot from just following along

[@BodyFixExercises]

👍👍👍

[@crystalq6158]

Just did this. Oh my never knew you could feel those nerves when stretching like this. I have a lot of pain down my armes. Right more so then left. Thank you! Will add these stretching techniques to my daily routine.

[@Whistlewalk]

Thank you!! I have cronic nerve owies in my right arm & the loss of feeling in my rightr hand from knitting. I'm right handed and that's the hand I 'throw' the yarn with. My hands don't just seriously hurt some mornings but I can really feal where the nerves go through my elbow and down from my cranium in my neck "Good morning!!" And,it impacts my quality of sleep. I'm figuring this is a pinched nerve in my neck to some degree, but nothing I've been able to do has relieved the pain to a reasonable degree. These exercises look as though they might just work and I am excited to try them out for a few weeks. Will let you know how that goes.

Thanks alot for this video. I had hurt my arm in gym about one month ago at the cabel machine. This video help me alot. May i also use the "hang dead" to heal more of my arm?

[@iloveit9468]

Thank you for sharing this. Im already feeling some relief after doing this for the median nerve, however it seems that one or another of these nerves is constantly getting stuck. I do have cervical neck compression along with bone spurs I’ve been told I have radiculopathy. I do feel like I’ve injured my shoulder and scapular shoulder blade on left arm. P.S. (edit) I had an mri & I’ve just recently went to PT for nearly 3 months , then two injections c-6 c-7

[@BodyFixExercises]

Just stick to the exercises that feel comfortable. Sometimes the nerves are so stuck that they can't be released with this technique and trying to do can irritate them, but if you stick to the comfortable exercises it can really help.

[@iloveit9468]

@@BodyFixExercises I definitely will, thank you again so much, I appreciate you taking the time to respond ❤️

[@crystalq6158]

I'm with you. About 2 years ago my right shoulder started to hurt. More so in the front facing side of shoulder. Never recall hurting it. As time went by and a CT scan. It wasn't my shoulder at all but my neck. I would have bet money it was my shoulder. Now that time has passed the nerves that he explains in video is exactly what is giving me trouble. Lots of PT (pool) therapy is the only thing that helps. Good luck and wishing you a pain free day.

On 09/30/2023, I received a "Tetnus shot" that was given in my left arm. Ever since that shot, my upper left arm is tingly/numb, all the way down to the tip of my left thumb. It has gotten better,yet it is still there. Some of my strength has returned, but not all of it. Should I seek legal recourse for this situation ????

[@walterroche8192]

I tried this since I have Carpel Tunnel and after 7-8 times I stopped to feel how it was. Yeah not doing that again. It aggravated it enough to cause slight discomfort. Well it was worth a try! Have to get the surgery after all...

[@BodyFixExercises]

Yes, this is important! Sliding nerve along its path down the arm can release it and give amazing relief. But if it's just too compressed to release, you can stretch the nerve and irritate it. That's why I keep repeating "IF it's comfortable..." Don't do it if it feels uncomfortable folks.

[@thewiseowl8804]

⁠@@BodyFixExercises"too compressed to release" What can be done then?

[@SAKAICHEWY]

What about arm pain that starts with pinched nerves in hip area?

hello. thank you for the excellent video, excellent channel. i'd like to ask a question if i may: my left arm hurts in the morning when i awake, and hurts very badly if i lie on my left side - do these symptoms indicate a particular kind of nerve problem? (doctor assures it's not heart related) thank you. (sorry for asking here, but i'm not on facebook)

[@BodyFixExercises]

Hi. I couldn't really tell just from that info. It could be several things. Including disc bulge, spinal facet joint referral, thoracic outlet syndrome, Pronator Teres Syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome
