Radial Nerve Entrapment Release - MSR Protocol - Part 4

[@abcdefg2575]

Thank you. As soon as I tried this there was an instant relief and i felt the blood flow more.

[@shanegolledge5096]

Excellent demonstration and video I'm unsure if I am experiencing radial nerve or another nerve? I have cervical spondylosis in my C5 and C6 and have been experiencing horrible referred radiculopathy pain down my right side into my bicep, forearm, wrist and thumb has been numb for 5 weeks. Physio, Chiro and Osteopath provided minimal relief. Had a epidural steroid injection 5 days ago and still not relieved of much pain

[@PeteKona]

WOW! This is EXACTLY the info I was looking for. My son, seemingly out of nowhere, lost the ability to lift his thumb. Is Waretnburgs point the same nerve that controls thumb extension? He has no pain, just can't lift it.

[@kinetichealthonline]

I'm really glad to hear that the video provided you with valuable information. Thank you for watching and for your comment. It's important to note, however, that I'm not able to offer specific medical advice or diagnosis without a proper physical examination. Regarding your question about Wartenburg's point and its relation to thumb extension, it's essential for any sudden change in motor function, like the inability to lift a thumb, to be evaluated by a healthcare professional. They can provide a comprehensive assessment and determine whether it's related to radial nerve function or another underlying issue. I hope your son regains his thumb movement soon and encourage you to seek a medical opinion for a thorough evaluation.

BIG "snap" release Feels so much better now

[@nikolamilisavljevic7389]

I've been doing some pull-ups and push-ups lately, and I'm a heavy guy, about 105kg. That put a lot of strain on my joins, no doubt, and I did start to feel some tenderness especially my right elbow, but nothing I couldn't tolerate. I started going easy on my exercises non the less. However, I had to move some stuff around the house and I made some pushing movement with my right arm, then heard and felt some sort of ripping sound. It's hard to locate where exactly - forearm/bicep area, kind of general elbow area. I felt tremendous pain, and was unable to rotate my forearm back and forth. That hurt a lot. Extending and contracting my arm wasn't really an issue. I felt a little better over a few days time, and I can now rotate my forearm both directions, but at the end points I start feeling a lot of pain. There is definitely no way I can exercise, even have trouble doing some every day stuff. There was never any swelling, nothing is broken (I suppose). Is it possible to estimate what could be going on there just based on my description?

[@kinetichealthonline]

Thank you for reaching out and detailing your experience. It's clear you're facing a significant amount of discomfort, and the symptoms you're describing - the audible ripping sound followed by pain and difficulty with rotation - could suggest a strain or soft tissue injury. It's positive to hear that there's some improvement over time, but the persistent pain, especially at the extremes of movement, is a concern and warrants a professional assessment. I must stress that without a physical examination, it's not possible to accurately diagnose your condition. Soft tissue injuries can be complex, and the elbow and surrounding structures are particularly intricate. I recommend that you consult with a healthcare professional who can perform a thorough evaluation to determine the exact nature of your injury and provide you with a proper course of treatment.

[@nikolamilisavljevic7389]

@@kinetichealthonline Thank you for the reply. I have ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow, hopefully it reveals the cause of the problem. Again, I appreciate your reply.

[@armnakornthab6867]

It looks like I have radial tunnel syndrome. Could you please tell me how likely I have to undergo surgery? Can I cure it from resting and doing some radial nerve exercises alone? It is kinda strange that my symptoms worsen after waking up, but become much better after rigorous workout like pull up. However after the rigorous workout day it becomes worse again.

[@kinetichealthonline]

I appreciate your viewership and inquiry. As each case is unique, it's imperative to consult with a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and personalized treatment plan for conditions like radial tunnel syndrome. Rest and exercises may help, but the necessity for surgery can only be assessed by a professional. For insights and potential management strategies, you may find my article, "Untangling the Knot: Understanding and Treating Radial Nerve Entrapment," helpful. It's available on the Motion Specific Release website. Cheers! www.motionspecificrelease.com/post/untangling-the-knot-understanding-and-treating-radial-nerve-entrapment

Interesting. I started having "funny bone" sensations when straightening my right elbow anywhere within ~45° of straight out. I can straighten my arm out with no pain/issues if I do so in a vertical position. But what you describe at ~3:40 is exactly what I am experiencing. No known/specific trauma to my shoulder or elbow.....just started getting the sharp nerve pain just back from my wrist, and can feel sensations (not painful) along the tricep area. No "wrist drop", and I can still move my wrist/fingers- albeit some angles/positions cause pain just behind the wrist. (Having had a partially herniated disc in my neck led to nerve pain down my left arm...so I knew when I felt it in my right arm, I knew such was more then a muscle or tendon.) Can any particular range of motion/repetitive movement cause such issue(s)? Can compression just back from the wrist (as in a tight fitting watch or tight elastic sleeve cuffs) irritate the nerve in that area?

[@kinetichealthonline]

Hi M Fohawk: Every case involving of nerve entrapment is different. Compression at any point along the nerve can cause similar symptoms at multiple points. This is what make dealing with nerve entrapment a complex issue. It is also why we often recommend nerve flossing exercises to our patients, so they can release multiple locations at once. Here is an example of the exercise we prescribe to our patients dealing with radial nerve entrapment. Cheers! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYHbYWpmlsSXhdk

Very useful technique to treat... thanks

[@AdamScottfit]

Thanks for this video. Question, I have had a weakness in my chest, triceps, and shoulders on my left side due to a previously trapped radial nerve. I have seen massive improvements in the last year, but still don't have the full strength on my left side. Just an example: with a single arm cable tricep pushdown, my right side is 5 reps stronger than my left. At the start of the year, it was 10. What would you recommend to speed up the recovery?

[@kinetichealthonline]

Hello, and thank you for engaging with our video. While it's good to hear that you've seen some improvement, I need to clarify that I can't provide tailored medical recommendations without a comprehensive physical examination. The uneven strength you've described between your left and right sides, particularly after a previously trapped radial nerve, suggests a need for specialized evaluation. Variations in muscle strength and recovery rates can arise from multiple factors, including nerve integrity, muscle fiber recruitment, and even biomechanical alignment. Consult a qualified healthcare provider for a detailed assessment to determine a focused rehabilitation plan. Targeted therapeutic approaches, potentially including physiotherapy, nerve gliding exercises, or even surgical interventions, may be more effective when personalized to your condition.

[@AdamScottfit]

@kinetichealthonline I appreciate that and it makes sense. I've worked with a physio in the past, currently working with someone that is helping a fair bit, it just feels like maybe I could be doing more in-between to help speed it up.

Hello dr . I’ve had a tandem skydive about 2 days ago after that i felt numbness in my thumb with no motor disfunction , and the sensation is good , but that numbness making me worried . Could you tell me please what shall I have to do ?

Hello doc , as u told me to consult a dr ,i did and he said my radial nerve is irritated during surgery and told me to have patience while my nerve recovers and also gave me some meds , but i want ur opinion now as i have loss of sensation on the back of my hand between thumb and index finger its not complete loss i feel cold and warm as usual but not able to feel touch properly i feel taps but not rubbing and also some shocks and tingling is present there mostly at night, what should I do? ,,,,I shall be very thankful to you if u can provide me with any suggestions

[@kinetichealthonline]

Hi Jatin: Your Dr, is right you will have to give it time to recover. It sometimes takes several months to restore sensation (this is common). Don't be discouraged just give it time. Years ago I ruptured a disc in my back, I had full function but it took close to a year to get my full sensation back. Cheers

What is your profession. What were her symptoms.

[@kinetichealthonline]

Hello, and thank you for your interest in our video. To answer your questions, we are doctors of chiropractic, educators, and writers with expertise in musculoskeletal health, including conditions like radial nerve entrapment. As for the symptoms addressed in the video, radial nerve entrapments commonly manifest as pain, numbness, or tingling radiating from the upper arm down to the hand, often affecting the thumb and first two fingers. Other symptoms may include muscle weakness and diminished reflexes. These are general indicators and should not replace a comprehensive medical examination for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

[@JasonKidman]

How do I find a practicitioner near me that does what you do? I believe I have radial tunnel syndrome and golfers elbow both. PT is giving relief but very very slow and minimal

[@kinetichealthonline]

Hi Jason: You need to find someone trained in nerve entrapment syndromes. This could be a chiropractor, physiotherapist, osteopathy or RMT.

[@violetta6280]

Are physio therapist trained in nerve issues, is it a physiotherapist you would see if you suspect nerve issues? I've seen two who could not help me.

[@kinetichealthonline]

Some chiropractors, physiotherapists, osteopaths and RMT are trained in nerve entrapment. I search around for both training and experience. Cheers!

I've been having brachioradialis pain when I bend my right arm and tense. I'm wondering if there is a way to determine if it is radial nerve or muscular strain? The strange thing is it varies day to day depending on my posture so that makes me question whether it's muscular as my shoulders are quite unstable and dysfunctional at the moment.

[@kinetichealthonline]

Hi Aaron: You will need to see your physician for a orthopaedic and neuro assessment, Then they can determine if imaging or nerve conduction tests are appropriate. Cheers

Hey dr i had humerus surgery 2 days ago but my hand was perfectly working fine but after surgery its not i feel currents and numbness near my thumb , is it cuz of anesthesia they gave me or its something else, ur help would really be appreciated, ty!!

[@jatinhanda6447]

And also cant raise my wrist and extend my fingers backward but i can close my hand very well

Hi Jatin: I cannot comment on specific cases without doing an examining. That being said, numbness near the thumb could be median nerve not just radial. I suggest you see a practitioner if this persists. In the meantime you might want to check out my blog on CTS. Cheers!

Can this cause shoulder pain? Infraspinatus and teres minor more specifically. No one has been able to help me yet.

[@kinetichealthonline]

The suprascapular nerve innervates the infraspinatus muscle. The axillary nerve innervates the teres minor. You may want to try some nerve flossing exercises for these two nerves. Here is our nerve flossing playlist, we have created videos for both these nerves. Cheers. kzbin.info/aero/PLF0E3717769FB6FAD
