Hey reading all your comments I do hope that everyone is on the way to recovery.......... Hey its like a little family here
I did these exercises and within days my arm did not go numb and tingly in my sleep. I make sure to sleep with my arm straight out and elbow against the bed. Thank you ever so much for these exercises to all who researched these to get us healed.
So glad that comments are open, so it's giving me power to get over it. I have got my wrist drop suddenly not realizing how. It's been week 3 since it's started and feeling a litle mobility, but still bad. Thank you so much for sharing your stories, it gives me a hope that it's not yet over for me at 22.
I’m on week 3 also, these posts give me some hope. It’s made me feel very down on myself. I am 29, and I just cannot live with this forever. I can feel some pins/needles and shooting pains but I don’t have any wrist or finger extension. Keeping you in my thoughts, we can get through this!
Oh, we have got it almost at same time. I have updates, I already having a little mobility with my wrist and fingers. Still cannot unfold it fully, but for sure it’s getting better
Glad to hear you’re seeing improvement! I still have pins/needles and I’m definitely gaining some strength. My wrist and fingers haven’t really improved yet, but hopefully they will soon!
dont feel down on yourself. I got it 5 days ago. i have therapy session next week. it will come back :)@@kathrynl1999
It's been almost 3 months when I fell asleep out back I woke up leaning over on my arm rest on the chair. Without having Insurance due to starting a new job I have just been wearing a wrist brace. I woke up again Outback and know I don't sleep outside every night LOL but I fell asleep again two nights ago woke up yesterday I cannot use my right wrist it's dropping and my fingers barely work. So I put a brace on that hand just to keep the wrists from dropping . My insurance is effective today I made a doctor's appointment but I can't get in till febuary 26th. So I had to call off work today cuz I am a nurse and I can't do anything without my hands. So I've been researching all day and I finally figured out I have Saturday Night Palsy 100% just imagine having two risks that just drop I've been crying for 2 days I don't know if I can even work and they already told me if I can't work after 5 call outs in a row, they're going to have to let me go then there goes my health insurance. I'm just curious how you're doing and maybe needing some suggestions until I can get into the doctor
Sorry for my english :)
6 years ago i had a radial nerve palsy and the doctor said there is nothing i can do, it took me 5 month for recovery...
Now i have it for second time, on sunday i fell asleep at the computer. Now I was not at the doctor. Yesterday i find your exercises and its already getting better. Thank you so much
How long for full recovery? This is the second time I've had it. I'm a guitarist so this has effected me tremendously
@@OneTruTree how is everything going? It's been about 2 months yeah?
@@UltraTaco223 full recovery. These exercises certainly expedited the healing process. When I had it several years ago it took longer to heal because all I did was cast it and let it be instead of working some of the exercises. Thank you for asking.
I have been struck down with this and have not been able to play any guitar since. However I have worn a brace supplied by the hospital which has fixed the drop wrist, everything slowly coming back, I found this video very useful and have been doing the exercises as shown.
Its only been around approx four weeks but slowly I nearly have full control of the hand I am able now to hold a cup of water without spilling or dropping the cup.
I have also been doing gentle exercises on the guitar to get the fingers working, Its just the middle finger that tends to drag sometimes but , I am slowly building up strength in the wrist and hand, only wearing the splint now when i go out.
I have been told this could take anything from 15 weeks to two years to have 100% control depending on the person, well its been around one month probably not even that?
The docs thought i had a mini stroke but i had fallen asleep in an odd position and either had the arm below the elbow pressed hard against the side of the chair, or had all my weight on the wrist which may have been bent backwards.
Anyone unlucky enough to get this problem make sure you consult your doc or even go to the accident dept at your hospital as this could have been a (MILD STROKE)
Don't mess around consult medical attention immediately especially if your not fully aware how you got this.
It wasn't a stroke in my case.
If it was the result of an injury have no worries, with the correct splint and then gentle exercise things will gradually return to normal the nerve damage in many cases repairs itself, BUT! and there is always a BUT, Nobody can say for sure how strong the hand and wrist will be when fully recovered just know that in many cases your going to have this problem for a very long time, How long depends on you.
But I am bloody determined to make sure it gets back to normal. Its a killer not being able to play but in the last hour I have been playing WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!! It feels great to feel them strings again!
Still partially weak but never mind Its coming back at around less then a quarter of a mm a day.
I do hope this helps somebody as can be a frightening experience.
Get well people .. Anything changes I'll be back to let you all know.
Bless All.
That is great to hear that you are getting some hand and finger control back! Keep us updated on how the recovery goes!
@@Braceability Will do many thanks :)
Congrats on your recovery. I had this very recently on my 8hr flight, I fell asleep with my weight on my left arm. I am so horrified but learning about your recovery gave me hope. Can you tell me how often you exercise and did you do a certain diet? Thank you very much in advancr
@@Milkatee Hey sorry to hear that bro, What you mean you guitarist and cannot play now?
OK the first thing is if you have drop wrist Palsy you need to get that wrist into the correct splint so that the wrist is supported and also kept straight.
No special diet but i always eat plenty of greens anyway.
I left my splint on for around two weeks. making sure in comfy position and very gentle just hold what chords or notes you can play but do not over do it approx 10 mins per day depends on injury and person.
Do not force anything just let things come back slowly.
Remove the splint after approx two weeks the wrist should stay straight follow the exercises in this video.. You will soon get back to normal.
I am playing perfectly now and up to tempo although the wrist is still only slightly weak. The healing might take upto 15 weeks or more but depends on how determined
A little each day and do not panic things will return to normal.. It is frightening just needs time. :) let us know how you get on.
Just an update should anyone have the same problem. I exercised with the splint on then after approx two weeks i started exercising on the guitar just holding basic shapes moving arm and wrist up and down the fingerboard. Slowly by slowly everything returned to normal. A great help were the exercises in this video as was not able to support a cup in the injured hand.
Yes it is still a bit weak but its not even near the 15 weeks, that is the time i was told it would take to get better but anyone else it might be longer? I was glad to find this video as was worried sick I might never play again.
However a friend had his right wrist snapped off by a passing car after sticking his hand out, he is a violin player or was, But he also is playing once again.
So with gentle exercise and Time being the great healer all will return.
The only thing I cannot guarantee is how strong things will be, but in most cases things will return to normal.
Just try wearing the correct splint for as long as it takes, but again all depends on you.
I've tried others but these moves are getting right to the spot(I even have the same blue cup) After years now I can put my thumb to my pinky and hold up three fingers!!
Years?😢😢😢😢😢
Ohhhh, thank you so much. I couldn't sleep for the last night due to severe pain. Due to these exercises i felt great relief in one day. Many thanks again.
Thank you. 27 years, I suffered 6 hours of hyperthermia, cardiac arrest, and long term hypoxia, and today my left hand tingles, has less dexterity & feels numb. It's the worst in my thumb, and the problem extends all the way up my arm into my shoulder and back. I ind relief in QiGong, Yoga, and low weight/high rep weight lifting every other day. My muscle fibers are far to short in my radial nerve, causes me difficulty.
Starting my exercises today. Its been 10 days since my radial nerve injury. Hoping for the best. Will give feedback on healing process and changes i see.
How was it?
Here’s some feedback on my journey.
I started exercises after 10days following Radial nerve injury.
My first week felt hopeless and useless - i did not see any results. Hand remained floppy without any movement. I did these exercises 2-3 times a day consistently. Of course with missed sessions there and but i made sure i did at least once a day.
I started feeling or gaining results 3 weeks later. At this stage i could slightly move my hand up and down slightly though. ALSO i could write but with a terrible handwriting.
After 5 weeks i had great movement up and down and some control over my finger tips. Also i could make a fist although it was weak it gave me hope. Here my handwriting had also improved and my pencil grip was good. Remember guys i was forced to write from day one of injury and coming back from leave because of my job. Perhaps that can be taken as an exercise not sure but consult your doctor or Occupational Therapist.
After 8 weeks of doing these exercises and using a splinter i had really improved but i started feeling pain on my whole arm. I don’t why but my occupational therapist recommended a scan and it came back normal and i guess it was part of the healing journey.
On my 10th week i basically had gained muscle strength fully. Although I could not punch someone yet LOL. but it was really good to be able to feel strength on my hand again. My hand writing here was back fully.
My healing journey was about 3 months long - first days are the hardest but learn to not give up. You are healing even though you do not see thats the trick. Focus on healing slowly don’t rush. Also combine exercises with a good splinter and occupational therapy. I cant stress enough the importance of investing in a good splinter to keep your hand straight and exercise regularly even though you don’t feel like it.
GOOD LUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY.
@@ankushsharma-ws1yx long journey but worth it. Very useful exercises. Goodluck
Guys I've been through this its actually more of a mental challenge than physical
Just keep exercising and don't miss physiotherapy sessions
Ive been doing physical therapy every day since then and I've recovered almost everything except thumb but i hope it'll be recovered soon
Its a difficult situation only a few can relate to. I pray for all of you, may you all recover asap ❤️
I pray that you all find some relief 🙏
Very kind. Th a nk you.❤
I fell 2 stories off roof landed on elbow on concrete snapped my humerus in half damaged radial nerve. Could barely move fingers. 5 months later I’ve gained about 75% of my strength back and 95% movement. I still continue to heal more weekly. My lower arm down to my fingers is still a numb though I have complete control.
That Guy I have the same situation but no much improvement after 4 months
Sivadam _hacker_ be strong brother you got to take physical therapy very seriously at least 5 times a day some form of work try moving fingers, hand, wrist, arm even if it’s a very slight movement you need to push yourself. It’s going to be a bitch but there is light at the end of the tunnel. Exercise your entire body no tobacco and good diet will speed things up. Get a wrist brace and work on your grip strength.
Hello,what are your current results ? I have radial nerve palsy from broken humerus aswell,broken in 4 pieces with my radial nerve being squished very hard,it happend 8 months ago but i still have tingling and i gained 90% of my movement,just wondering what are your results ? looking forward for reply,btw what is your age ?
Sivadam -- any improvements?
@@Thatguy-sd1kw Hello! Can you reply to my question? Thank you. Sorry
Got into a car crash and broke my arm. My medieval nerve was fine until I had a humerus fracture surgery. Now I have wrist drop and same with my thumb. I really hope physiotherapy fixes it.
I hope that medieval nerve is strong like a medieval knight now 💪
It's been 2 months no change yet :( Please pray for all the ppl who is suffering this..
3 Months still nothing here...
Took me about 7-8 months to be able to play guitar again
I'm one month in and can't do any of this! I start therapy tomorrow🤞🤞
@@guillotinedeath Fricken hell man and don't I know the feeling.. Hope you are well dude.. In some ways made me happy seeing your comment.. :)
Me too😞 4month no improvement
I am a couple of weeks into having this, fell asleep at the computer, woke up with my right hand on the mouse and this had started. Can't lift my fingers up and my wrist just looks broken, went to my Dr and this was his diagnosis, no real pain just the numbness, tingle and uncomfortable. Here's to hoping it returns to normal.
Any update on wether your sensation came back?
@@jaxon258 it has! I have been back to normal for a bit! Thank you for asking!
@@J-DragonVIPQueen that's really good to hear. I had a incident at my job with hand cuffs and I think they hurt my radial nerve in my left hand, lost sensation along my thumb and index and it hurts around my wrist it's been a week so far I'm hoping it recovers. Your story helps
@@jaxon258 I'm so sorry it happened to you also. I did the exercises daily and wore a wrist brace 24-7 until it improved. I hope everything returns to normal for you also.
@@J-DragonVIPQueen how long did it take
I dealt with four months of a dead hand. It will get better
Whats now?
I’m 12 and this is happening to me. I don’t know exactly what I have but I think it might be something similar to this. I started feeling the sharp pain on the back of my hand when I bent my wrist or made a fist with my hand. I also felt a sharp pain in my arm when I bent my elbow. I hope this video helps.
You are only 12, have no worries you should mend quick.. How are things now hope all is AOK with you.
How are you now
currently have this and still numb after 5 days, pray for me!
me too. any update? hope all is well
@@71sc502 how are you now
How are you now
I wish I had known about this stuff when I had my injury. I just managed to get better by pure willpower and pain, and my elbow is still hurting after all these years
How did you improve it? do you have tips for someone facing it? thank you! hope the best for your recovery too!
❤- will start this today! An let u know...bless you all -
I thank God first, then i thankyou for this video i need some help
very helpful, thank you
What's the primary difference between radial and medial nerve pain?
About a year ago, I injured my forearm by lifting a very heavy picnic bench. Felt a twinge.
Since then, I frequently have had nerve pain that's started anywhere from my hand (base of thumb) to top of forearm and then shoulder.
Went to orthopedic and although they gave me a brace to wear at night, some stretching exercises, they couldn't give me an accurate diagnosis.
Nerve pain is difficult to diagnose because it's often closely associate with muscle pain.
If it doesn't get better, or if you have continued tingling sensations, then try and go to see a specialist. Un-treated nerve pain can result in lots of problems.
7 Radial Nerve Palsey Exercises:
(In order)
1.) Water Spout
2.) Figure 8
3.) Hide and Seek
4.) Don't Forget to Tip
5.) Water Pump
6.) Table Stretch
7.) Self Massage
I feel immediate effect but how often and for how many reps should this exercises be done?
I am also curious about the amount of reps and how many times a day. 3 years ago i got a tattoo and the artist struck my nerve. I came across your video and after about ten months i regained full movement. It also took that long to get in to see a specialist. I did not go through with surgery as it was gone. Now i woke up 3 days ago and its back. Would not wish this upon everyone.😢
Thank you!
Thanks so much. Crutches pinched my nerve. Now my hand is limp.
Thank u so much! Hopefully this works!!
I haven’t had any improvements for the last month and a half. I see my doctor again on Thursday and am going to ask him if he’s aware of RNP as I’m positive this is what I have. I just turned 28 this is On my dominant hand , I work solely with my hands and the Covid-19 pandemic isn’t helping me find other work... god help me. I feel like I’m going to now struggle for the entirety of the rest of my life. I’ve never been so depressed , I know it’s early but the mental stress/fatigue I already have is just as bad as the injury itself. Strange enough it really doesn’t even hurt - it just feels like it’s a dead hand/wrist. Any other advice besides these 7 stretches are so greatly appreciated, I am at the end of my rope with what to do
Legit same here bro. Same age, work with my hands, woke up one day and wrist was just like you said, “dead”. I’ve got it in a splint and I’ve noticed few improvements since but put the work in and stay strong. I know exactly how you’re feeling. But know at the end of the day it’s just temporary, just need to be patient. Good luck to ya.
Same situation here, i fractured my right humerus which caused some sever radial damage to my right hand. Due to Covid, i was forced to resign from my new job before being made redundant, so now its hard trying to find work when your experienced in many fields but all they see is my injury. This year has certainly made me aware that life can change in an instant and to always be prepared, i just wasn't prepared to loose my job, have a long-life injury and become lost in my mind which isn't a good thing. Hope you guys recover soon.
3 months months in and I’ve started seeing improvements for sure. My wrist was the first thing to start gaining mobility and my fingers have just started slowly being able to move. They like to do their own thing and don’t respond as well as I’d like but I’ve seen some improvements so that’s hopeful. The doctor told me to stop wearing my wrist brace after 1-2 months so that it would begin to strengthen on its on and become accustomed to not having a brace on- he didn’t want it to be reliant on it. I would definitely suggest it. I also took up knitting as it doesn’t require much strength but it has definitely helped improve movement and mobility BIG time. If I try to lift anything over say 5-10 pounds my wrist will just give out and I’m unable to push myself up even just my body weight - but it is slowly improving! There’s hope , don’t let the depression or anxieties get too bad- it will get better. I was so down on myself and finally started seeing results. Hard to do when it feels like it will never end but mine was one of the worst my neurologist had seen in years he said , and it has been getting much better. Stretch, knit, type, do anything that would require lots of movement without a brace on as much as possible and it will retrain the nerves to begin working again. It’s possible ! Take care everyone and be positive- you got this! Lots of love xo
@@ktownpeels you started seeing first sign of improvement at 3 months and what was it? Im on 6 weeks still no progress and so worried. I can’t lift my fingers to type. What stretches do you recommend?
@@Nada-wq7tb i first was able to move my wrist up and down / side to side. It was gradual but it got better. I used a wrist brace if I was doing anything important or could hurt myself as it would keep my wrist from folding if i was using that arm for anything. Do not use a brace often though and definitely don’t sleep with it. Try to not use one at all- it will heal way faster. If you put your bad arm behind your back as if you were going to grab your opposite bicep(on good arm), make your hand in and out of a fist, spread fingers etc and then try to lift the wrist and fingers up /down as much as possible. At least 10-15 times in a row. It will be hard to do but I found that felt amazing. I also would constantly massage my wrist fingers etc very gently under warm water before stretching. I would do that stretch and two others about 3-4 times a day minimum. The other really good one was with your bad arm- bend at the elbow to a 90 degree angle, hand at about your waist height. Try to touch your thumb to your index finger 👌🏼 and raise your wrist up, down, right, left, then a circle(best you can obviously). Then thumb to middle finger and repeat. Thumb to ring and repeat, then pinky finger. Trying to touch your thumb to each finger repeatedly really helps. Your wrist will work before your fingers, mine were honestly completely “dead” at first, then I had feeling and when I tried to move them they went any direction they wanted. I started knitting, lifting very light weights and doing wrist curls once I had more wrist strength. Once I was able to do those things especially knitting(anything that makes the fingers move a lot without straining)my fingers regained function quickly. I had 100% full mobility back by about 4 months. Computer typing would probably not help but I could see gaming being very helpful, cooking(slowly), colouring or shading, piano or any instruments, knitting etc all being super helpful. I really hope this helps. Don’t be too down on yourself, at least it’s covid times so try to just be patient as possible. You will be okay, I promise. If it is still bad at 3 months like it first was go to a neurologist. I saw one and they did a few tests that showed the nerve endings were all still very much alive and going to just take some time. It gave me a lot of peace of mind. I hope I helped, having someone that went through it to tell me what to do would have been a huge help for me... so I hope I am to you! Take care / good luck
Very helpful. Thakns
Thanks
Thank you so much! God bless you
Hi! Do I do 10 sets each exercise once a day?
Well, I can't currently lift my fingers but I'll try these when I can.
Omg I finally figured out that this is what has happened (Saturday night palsy) to my hand. I'm 29 and I've never heard wrist drop until today and it's nice to know that at least one person out there is dealing with this to. It's been going on about 2 weeks now , I have been trying to avoid going to the hospital and do my own research to help my hand get better on my own. Like you I can't left my fingers either or my entire hand not to mention can hardly hold a drink or pick something tiny up off of the floor. Best of luck to you, I'll pray for both of us.
@@kaylaavilla1296 me too its almost a year now😔
Jay Nachan how did you injure yours? My gf rolled onto my arm and when I woke up it was entirely numb. I can move everything but my index finger, my grip is hardly any power and all tingling
Kayla Avilla Hey Kayla
I have radial palsy as well. Do to a car accident. I was 6 months pregnant and my drank husband wouldn’t let me drive and we crashed. This happened in Feb 2016. My son is now 4 years old ☺️. Anyways dealing with this is very frustrating since I wasn’t born like this..The humerus bone was broken 3 times so it messed up the radial nerve. A 2 hour surgery turned into an 8hr surgery just because they didn’t want to cut my hand off. Let’s pray we ALL get better. With God EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE ☺️ keep exercising and praying. That’s what I’m doing. My hand is not as bad anymore
@@jlaird3 thats sucks man.... i had my arm broken because of arm wrestling.🤦🏻♂️
The one that hurts the most for me is the water pump 😫
No surgery or trauma, just slept on it wrong. I'm currently at two weeks, I have one of your braces. Should I do these with your brace on or off? Also I have been wearing your brace pretty much 24/7 (occasionally using a little less strong brace for a little less pressure) Whenever I go to switch braces I feel like letting my wrist drop will undo all the healing wearing the brace has done, is that true?
Both my wrists are now affected by sleeping wrong.😢 How are you today? I hope you answer 😊
@sherri9954 I am happily and fully healed and have been for quite a while. My wrist drop lasted about 2 months for being completely unusable, then an additional 3-4 months dealing with the muscle atrophy and gaining strength back.
Excelente
it hurts so much!
Three things
1physical therapy
2diet
3 exercise
Did you get EMG test? If yes, how much % damage?
Doctor didn’t say how much % of your nerve damage ?
Recently, I broke/fractured my forearm and since then I’ve been plagued by pain along my radial nerve. Does anyone know if these exercises would be suitable for my injury? I have tried a couple of them and it seems at this early stage that “water spout” and don’t forget to tip” offer some relief.
You're probably going to have pain no matter what. Did your surgeon clear you for PT? They usually send you right away.
The best thing I did was go get medical massages on my wrist, fingers, arm, and shoulder. Lots of rock hard muscles and scar tissue. The massage is painful but necessary to get movement back.
I see it's been a month. I hope you got better.
@@daphne201239 Pardon my ignorance, PT is????
During an arm wrestling match,
Opponent was strong enough to pull my thumb hard.
And now my radial muscle is numb since gone 2 days.
Now, what should I do ?
Am I suffering from the same thing shown in this video ?
How could someone with radial nerve palsy do these exercises? They can't even move the shoulder..
You may have a secondary issue. Frozen shoulder.
That's my challenge is I can attempt some of these but not sure how well. I've got plates & screws in my wrist and my humerus plus frozen shoulder in the same arm due to the cast and sling for 6 weeks (not much range of motion is my shoulder & none to the side). 😢😤
But attempting the motion, is still something. Let's try. 🤞🏽👍🏽
Exactly
I have drop wrist due to my radial nerve damage. Will these work for me?
I have pain on my write side behind the thumb area hurts bad, No accident had many surgery for carpal tunnel and trigger finger... What can I do to relieve this pain
What if both wrist/hands affected?
Does it help for stroke patient also?
Should I be performing these exercises with or without my wrist brace?
Hi Mike, we would suggest doing these workouts with out a brace, 1 so that you are using all of your own muscles to do the stretching, and 2 the brace might be too constricting to do the exercises.
Can this help people who have Wallerian Degeneration kind of radial palsy?
Will this work for tennis elbow too ?
its been near about 20 days during lockdown as there is pain in the head of radius and i think as injury to the superficial branch of radial nerve and sometime there is pain at the shoulder joint , i want to know these exercise for both
.
The figures 8s could help shoulder, too.
@@daphne201239 how are you now
I'm a dog handler in the military.. can someone shed some insight if I'll ever be able to do my job again?
I'm 5 months in from a humerus fracture, and my shoulders are doing good. The hand is taking longer to activate. It could take longer I'm seeing. I feel like there's a part in me that needs to just let go of the timelines. I feel agony at having to it for so many times. It's really challenging.
I have radial nerve palsy resulting from a humerus fracture that was surgically repaired. My surgery was a month ago. How us it going for you?
@zachcook9061 Hey zach, how's yours doing? What have you been using? It's really good actually wrist movement is pretty much full motion, just thumb and extensors are left to come back with full motion. Everyday it seems to be getting better. 🙏🏽
@@zachcook9061 I also just got surgery for a humerus fracture 3 weeks ago and I’m experiencing this now. So very frustrating! I didn’t have this issue until after the surgery. I have a splint for my wrist and started OT. Hoping it will heal quickly but it’s looking like this could take a while.
Lol both my wrists have palsy i dont have an unaffected side 😢
I couldn't to do the first one cuz I can't lift my arm hold it without the help of the other arm
How are you now
I broke homerus bone 2 month ago which cause radial nerve damage , I have wrist drop and cant move elbow properly, my doctor said that I should fully extend my elbow but I feel like my elbow is frozen and when I try to extend and stretch, I feel preasure, my doctor says If I dont extend my elbow now I will never be able to fully use. I read in internet that its worse to extend fully elbow because nerves will damage more, idk what to do, please help me..
Hi George, we are not doctors so we don't want to give you medical advice. It sounds like you may want to get a second opinion if you are doubting what your current doctor is saying. If you further find out that you need to straighten your arm, our Cubital Tunnel Brace helps keep your elbow extended to a near straight position. You can find it on our website - www.braceability.com/products/cubital-tunnel-brace
I also broke my humerus and have radial nerve damage and have wrist drop. It's been 1 month my finger movements have gotten slightly better but my elbow also feels frozen. get a second opinion I was told by my doctor that if I can't bend it fully or stretch it out fully eventually they would have to manually manipulate it which is the doctor manually cracking and moving it to get it mobile again under anesthesia. Mine is still swollen so I hope that's why but it feels really stiff... Also hope your doing therapy
@@VeggieRoseOfficial Ouch, hopefully, some consistent stretching will help regain some mobility in your elbow!
@@Braceability news - your splint will not help straighten the elbow - can keep it straight if you have the ROM present. Also - not nice to upsell when someone is asking for help...
@@VeggieRoseOfficial how are you now
But what about contractions I feel when I move my arm.....my thumb is getting cringed and it is horrifying.....
Hi Kreso, it sounds like you are in a lot of pain! Have you gone to see a doctor or physical therapist to see if it might be something more severe than radial nerve palsy?
Mine is really painful am worried because am just 21
hey how are you doing now??
I'm worried too cuz I'm just 16 :(
shii Georges
I’m 12 and this is happening to me. I don’t know exactly what I have but I think it might be something similar to this. I started feeling the sharp pain in the back of my hand and in my arm after I got a shot in my shoulder at the doctors.
@@ritastic5047 your parents should be looking in to a malpractice suit
How are yall saying you got radial nerve palsy and at the same time writing such long comments? Cause Im here struggling writing only w ma left hand!
Well I'm using speak to text. That's probably what others are doing.
Voice text. Or type with 1 finger slowwww
Four months....nothing....
How are you now
Is it okay to do these exercises without splint? Coz I don't have one yet
Absolutely! You will notice a nice difference when doing it with our splint. But starting the exercises without a splint is still going to help loosen that tight nerve!
Not good for people with immobility, they are too hard or impossible to do.
