Double checked w/my chiro this morning for the tech. terms. He said 3 nerve bundles go through the Thorassic Outlet at the front of the shoulder and down the arm. if that outlet is closed and compress any of those nerves the result is the numbness and pain that I get at night. Picture crossing your arms in front of you and attempt to make your elbows meet, that's the position that compresses them. When I avoid that position with either arm, I don't get the pain, so I position pillows to keep that from happening. Once I have it and wake up from it it takes a long time to go away. The more bulky and less flexible your shoulders are the more likely it it to happen.
He also said that carpal tunnel is the only pain that radiates upward from the location toward the heart, real CT does that, otherwise it's not CT.

Don't know if you know who Dave Mustain is, but
he is the lead singer/ guitarist for Megadeth, and early in his career was the frontman for Metallica.

During his heroin/drinking years,,,he fell asleep or passed out in a chair for several hours with his right arm back up over his head...and it cause some nerve damage...bad enough that it almost ended his ability to play.... he had years of rehabilitation before he was able to play again...

My nephew was hit on his motorcycle by a driver that left the scene and left him in the middle of an intersection.... thank God he survived. But the wreck caused some nerves to get " unplugged" in his spine/right shoulder... he has had several surgical procedures done, but sadly regained very little use of his right arm... nerve damage sucks...

This ones bullshit. Both my hands stay numb all night. Surgery is the only answer. AND I don’t know what it is like to set behind a keyboard at work or elsewhere. CT is a PAIN IN THE ASS. Anyone who works with their hands can attest to that.

I had the surgery about 15 years back, both hands and arms. I never have recovered my hand strength.

Dr told me it won't be back to normal after slicing an dicing . But should feel better than it does now.

Mom has the same issue. No strength. That is my biggest concern with going forward on the operation. One of my dads friends had both hands done the same day. Needless to say he wasn’t aware of the healing process / had to call his wife to drive him home and beg her to wipe his ass for two weeks as well.

Thanks for all that. Not experiencing any pain. I’ll go a little longer then maybe inquire.
