Not sure is the right section but would cool to have an injury and rehab forum section..
I want to share am issue I'm struggling with for the last 1-2 years
Since I got bigger both my forearms and hands get easily number and experience pins sad needles. I have been tested for everything in the past 2 years including Mri on my neck, Emg, nerve conduction etc, blood work... All tests gave not identified any particular pathology.
The neurologist diagnosis was that I experience local nerve compression at elbow due to my work position PLUS the fact that my muscle mass can add more stress to my nerves in that region.
The only thing that seem to help with the problem sofar is local acupuncture plus some massage that my chiropractor does.
When I'm on cycle and get bigger it gets worse ( not using hgh) typically after an arm workout I have increased pissed needless. Like if I keep any arm best tired few minutes numbness starts. As my muscle mass increases the problem seems to get worse. Also the most annoying thing is that this happens during my sleep so that when I'm on.light sleep it tends to wake me up sue to the pain nit allowing my to rest for as long as I like.
I wonder if any if you guys have ever encountered the same problem and if there's a fix... At least to not be awaken in my sleep? I tried some ibuprofen but doesn't entirely work.
I was thinking to buy a TENS machine but not sure if it helps..
I wonder if I need to make more investigation related to the function of my forearms or grip etc
