does this sound like a sx of tos or something else
it feels sprained and i cant put ANY weight on it, its my right hand so its perfectly possible that i hurt it otherwise but i havent been able to put weight on it in 6+ months. right now its acting up |

my wrist joints would get a jammed up feeling due to the constant tension in the arm muscles.. a part of my nerve sx at the time I think. also had the very sore/tender elbows at the same time frame.
It would always feel better when I'd pull on them - but I sure couldn't do that all the time .. I was having some PT part of the time so between that & the chiro and some extra home stuff we got most of that resolved. chiro did the regular PT type stuff and then a pulling, stretching and some wrist/arm whips/shakes combos - I guess that would describe it -and some adjustments to the wrist itself. If fact I did similar tx for my dh when he had some wrist pain happening due to his job. It worked for him , but I didn't do any adjustments , just the pull, shake, stretching. I don't know if that is the same as you are having though. I could put some weight on my wrists- but they would get cramps too at times..

I fell onto my hand arm, did not even notice pain at the time, it was my knee that was hurting. But that was Jan 5 and still have the sprain pain. I can feel it into the bicep, and if I reach to brush my hair, grasp a cup, I can not support the weight and it hurts the wrist.
I can feel in my neck tight strands. I think the tightness is coming down from the neck from the jam...Maybe you had overuse and it is affecting the wrist. One thing for sure the nerves leave the spine at the cervical spine, and travel into the arm as the medial, ulnar and radial nerves down three feet into the fingers. Anywhere there is a hinge, it can make that sick nerve hurt. Yesterday it was across the top of my wrist, not the bottom. Today it is the palm and thumb. I think because I had to drive to a work claim, generally dh drives. I too get ganglion with increased activity but they did go away.

ty everyone i think wearing a wrist splint really helps so far
my neck has STRANDS too it's SO tight pt told me that stretching was too aggravating. im "hypersensitive" and referred me to another pt who does trgr pt dry needling. which is nice i dont have to pay a fortune and my ins covers it also interesting he said hes shocked i passed nerve conduction tests bc my rt (more winged side) has completely atrophied compared to left. cant type anymoer but i'm excited getting needling done Yesssssssssss |

When you feel a candle hot your larger nerves make your arm jerk away from the heat...make the muscles move, the ones that felt the heat are the sensory nerves. This is where you get the pain from the blisters. EMG and testing for TOS is not conclusive. Replicating your symptoms when moving and the sensory testing with the pin prick, soft and sharp, reflexes. Needling helps the nerve forget to freak, the spasms let up and you feel better. Theory not fact that I have. I do this with my Reli med TENS too.

side note, ive noticed on here there seems to be more what i call classic tos. just constantly tight muscles (probably more muscle tone in general) then theres people like me who are hypermobile/really atrophied.
