Andersons- Thanks for all the wonderful information. Hearing what you say is really helping to ease my mind about this condition. I started reading John Sarno’s book and it is very interesting. I definitely think there something to what he is saying. Along with ulnar nerve problem I had to quit working out for several months because of a muscle strain in my upper-back. Seven months later I am still having pain in that area. There really should be no reason for this injury to have not healed by now. I think my anxiety alone about getting back to lifting weights has probably given me TMS. I literally go to bed thinking about back pain and wake up thinking about it even though it is not severe pain.
After three months of not lifting is when I started feeling the tingling. Do you think this could be from increased muscle tension from not lifting? The gym has always been my stress and tension reliever, so maybe by being inactive I have increased muscle tension, thus compressing my Ulnar Nerve?
I have one question regarding the exercise you mentioned that allows you to ?floss? the Ulnar Nerve. I hold my arm straight out to the side and then bend at the elbow at a 90 degree angle then bend my wrist to the outside with my palm facing up, kind of like a waitress would hold a tray?
Thanks again for all your help. I will keep you updated on how I am doing.
