Wondwr if this id reason for my TOS and compression of subclavian vein. They want to do surgery but im worried it will make me worse and its other issues related to my bad posture and severe stress over the years causing it to be stuck and tight causing slouching and forward hesd. Got so much worse after going back to desk job
Well, the doctor told me I needed a shoulder replacement that’s why I couldn’t move my arm. Every day I tried to stretch and press on trigger points but after doing your RU-vid. I’m completely mobile on my arm that was so painful and couldn’t move .It was definitely a nerve entrapment which I suspected because it went all the way down my arm thank you for this incredible relief. Where are you located? I would actually go to a chiropractor like you.
Been dealing with this for the past few days and didnt know what was going on, started to happen after something else had happened to me and then my pinky and half my ring went numb hours later and kinda just comes and goes with the numbness. this was a big help and described exactly what was going on with me. hopefully this keeps it at bay
Man you are SPOT ON - Massive ankle sprain going on 1 week..having MRI tomorrow - Ankle hurts in 3 spots..Now i am feeling side of know stiffing up due to how i shuffle while walking with a cane... Body is def out of wack :( Dorsi flex is very difficult
Doc. Quick question if I may. My mother in law had has bad pain on left side at bra line level like you're describing for 2 years. It's starts after she gets out of bed for the day. While laying down there is no real pain. After she's on her feet for 5 minutes the pain starts. She's had 10 plus shots and nothing has worked. Can it effect her left arm/hand. Her left arm is weaker and hand as well. She's 79 years old and walks with shoulders hunched over. I think this is making matters worse. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Most docs are not paying attention to our feet. A rheumatologist pointed my flat feet out to me at age 57! First doc that noticed! Now I have foot doc recommended insoles but now my knee pain has become so bad I use a rollator because the pain is too much combined with hip, groin n back pain. I went too long without proper insoles unaware of the damage that was most likely caused over the years.
Cause this cause cold feelings in the back and in between shoulder blades randomly and sporadically for different but not constant length of times. If that makes sense. Thanks for any insight.
Thank you so much, I had exactly what you described , I had this for numbness and tingling for 2 weeks, everything you said was true, I feel a pop by my funny bone every time I do the exercise. I am going to keep trying.
thank yo for clearly explaining this issue! Was just diagnosed today with this after two years of seeing back specilists, PT, chiros etc. No one could figure it out until today!!
I NEED YOU!! IM DYING THIS PAIN HAD BEEN ONGOING FOR OVER A YEAR NOW!! MY SURGEON HAD THEM GIVE ME A C5 NERVE FACET INUECTUON. THIS WORKED A LITTLE FOR NECK. BUT NOT FOR THIS. IT SHOWS A IMPINGED NERVE IN MY MRI OF THORACIC. I THINK ITS THIS. CUZ ALL THESE SYMPTOMS AND THESE EXERCISES ARE HELPING BUT THEN IT COMES BACK.
I am experiencing pain that makes me think is dorsal scapular nerve pain. Doctors I have seen are telling me that it isn't nerve pain because I'm not experiencing numbness/tingling in my fingers. Is that accurate? Would I only experience this pain in conjunction with numbness/tingling in my fingers?
WOW -This is a (probably) an amazing insight into my problem. I have had a shoulder issue, with pain around the scapular and an originally weak serratus anterior muscle for over 3 years now. The correlation of the way the pain manifests and the link to the neck is a perfect diagnosis. I had been to 7 physios, chiros etc trying to find the problem, and some MSK specialists through healthcare. I have also had X-Rays. No one has offered me a logical diagnosis and the 3 years of stretching and improving the strength around the rear of the shoulder to pul the scapular back has helped only slightly. I used to powerlift before the onset of this problem. So here is a QUESTION, when I fond out about this possible diagnosis I went to a new specialist (I had stopped paying money for no progress) I was told it's unlikely to be this as nerve problems are always worse at night, and my problem is not. Is this true? The professional then focused on the spine, and a lack of mobility in the thoracic region
When sleeping on either side or my back, my left shoulder blade develops a numbing pain right at the infraspinatus. I cannot lift a blanket using left arm until I get up and massage that area. Could I have dorsal scapular nerve entrapment? Thanks
Tried it and almost instantly felt relief, not total relief but it help, question. Is this something that can happen from leaning on your elbow a lot, like in the car or in bed?
Thank you. That tip about half of the ring finger being affected was super helpful!! I'm going to try your exercises. If they don't take care of it, I'm going to see a chiropractor near me.
Thank you for providing this video, I currently have an ulnar nerve problem with the numbness and tingling in my little finger etc, but knew that something else wasn't right, since the scapula nerve that you identified is also a problem, and with this knowledge, you've empowered me for when I see a physio today, I'll know what I'm talking about. Thank you very much.
Had this over the last few weeks, the pain is unbearable; stabbing sharp pains in my lower part of my scapula. Even causes pain around one particular rib which extended almost to my front. I cannot sleep on that side but no problem sleeping on the other. Any advice?
Hi! This kinda sounds like what I'm going through.. I'm an LMT, and one day It just started to hurt in my rhomboid area.. it's been a month now and I feel tingling down my arm and into my thumb and pointer finger.. but only when I stand or sit. It subsides when I'm laying down. Could this be the cause??
