This exercise can also be a nice transition when you train chest & shoulders, esp with a narrow grip

Hope this injection works for you.

My son-in-law has nerve/disk damage in his neck as a result of an IED while he was deployed to Iraq. This causes him severe, debilitating migraines, almost daily. He's had steroid shots and Botox. They have not helped. Surgery is a last resort.

I have degenerative disk disease. The disks in my lower back cause nerve pain known as sciatica. About a month ago, I had a couple of steroid injections. They've help somewhat.

Thursday they were testing my nerves in my arms... was like torture woman kept saying relax and then sending signals up my arm... weird watching my hand twitching. problem is the nerves are pressed in my neck and i feel it down my right arm and hand. Professor in the hospital here showed me the pictures and you can see the disk sticks out on the right hand side. He said we have to operate or i could lose more feeling in my hand but i went for a second opinion. Second doctor said the same but does injections under ct. i will try this. i am squeezing a ball all day to keep some power in my hand.. physiotherapist where i go now kindly gave me it. the pills work well though... and they are opium based. Donīt want to take them too long for obvious reasons. told me not to drive my car at the moment...donīt feel high or anything but they make me a bit tired. talking of which...itīs medication time !

Chest on a Friday evening. The gym was almost empty, which is good for the focus.

10 supersets of flat bench presses & pec dec flyes
1 triple drop down set of flat DB presses with weighted stretches in between

Some shoulder mobility work with bands
Some crunches & hyperextensions to strengthen the core.
I should perform this more often.

never had an accident or anything.. i have had a numbness in my hand for a few months now. so i think it has been happening for a while. was at work and had really bad neck pains... then after a few days was ok but my arm and fingers hurt. so i went to the Doc and they sent me for the scan in the Tunnel... and saw what it was.

Get well soon Donny.  I am no way comparing my little problem to yours.

 Something strange happened the last time I trained chest and arms. About 2 hours after the workout my left hand went completely numb. It felt like I had a ton of Novocaine injected. I couldn't feel anything I thought I was having some kind of cardio vascular event. I ran and took aspirin.  I called my wife who was at work and she wanted me to go to the hospital. I contacted my daughter who is a cardiac nurse. She said it could be a cardio vascular thing but more likely to be a crushed hand nerve. It suddenly occurred to me that my hand hurt using ivanko hand grippers at the end of my workout. I guess my hand swelled pushing on the nerve in my hand. The hand stayed numb for about an hour and then it slowly faded. Just bizarre.

- Temporary carpel tunnel? Usually with carpel tunnel the fingers go numb, but it seems possible that one's whole hand could be affected too. I knew two folks with a more serve form of carpel tunnel, where in one case the nerve was pinched at the elbow and in the other case at the shoulder.

I have carpel tunnel, which acted up in the past. Wearing a wrist brace, especially at night while sleeping helped. I avoided having surgery because there are some complications involved which would impact lifting weights such as a reduced ability to grip.

Anyone who works with their hands or does some manner of repeated hand movement is subject to getting carpel tunnel.
