Hi flower- hope you don't mind me shortening your name??
I just made a thread last nite with lots of links for triggerpoints and treatments. It might be halfway down the page now.

Those links also tell the best ways to use the pressure to release the Trps.
I'm wondering it you might have irritated it more that releasing it??
This isn't the old braintalk - it's a new website - it just uses the same vbulletin software so it looks the same.
I you can PM kimmydawn {admin} and ask about getting your user name spelling changed , or delete this account and re sign up with the corrected spelling. {if you want to}
I did some very aggressive TrP work on my forearms last yr and they felt very odd and sore for about 2 weeks- but I didn't have any nerve sx increase from it.
I made another anatomy thread that might be of help for you too.
you could track down the area and see where those nerves are at.

the middle finger & thumb I think are median nerve related.
