More exercises for hand and arm numbness/tingling (m)
Posted: Fri Feb 22, 2013 9:24 am
I'm still trying to get rid of the stubborn numbness in my right forearm/elbow. The TOS stretches helped my hands but didn't fix the arm thing. I thought y'all might be interested in exercises/stretches for the other nerves affecting the arm and hands.
These videos have several exercises you can do from a sitting position. I would start with the tai chi...the others are more painful/aggressive (did them...have a bit of fire under me arms now ). If you have any way to relax your muscles before the exercises, I think that would help. Also, note one of the therapists says do the stretches every other day to avoid overworking the nerves. Happypoet...do NOT overdo it again.
Median nerve
Ulnar nerve
