We started with stretches, then moved to baby weights, very light, wrist curls, windshield wiper movement, nerve glides. They always went very slowly and finished with the tens unit and ice. The more that you describe your symptoms the less it sounds like neuropathy, at least any that I am aware of. Did the therapist give you any feedback as to their thoughts?

Therapy often triggers inflammation- that is why the ice and ibuprofen are so important as follow ups.
