Exhausted and worried
Posted , 2 users are following.
I am a 67 year old male normally in good health.
For about 3 weeks I have been in very very bad bad. Especially at night
My left little finger and the adjacent finger is numb /tingling. So is most of my left forearm.
My neck and left shoulder blade is tied up in a big painful knot too.
No medication either relaxed or covers the pain. Massage often makes it worse. Hot showers do help.
During the daytime when walking and active the pain can sometimes completely dissappear. But the pain returned in the early hours of the morning while sleeping. It's driving me mad.
I live in a remote area of Indonesia so access to Healthcare is not easy.
My Google research has come up with... Pinched ulna nerve.. Or cell phone elbow... Or a muscle spasm.
Why does the pain return? How can I fix this?

You mentioned medication for pain which is good because that could take down the inflammation. And add magnesium with it-- take before bed-- it could help. I know you said massage makes it worse BUT it could be helping with loosing the knot--- Have you tried any healing cream? When I visited my acupuncturist she would rub this stuff on the areas--- I guess it was like 'Chinese ben gay'.. There's also a 'foam roller' that you could try. Put it on the floor and lay on it and roll back and forth where that knot is. I would be frustrated too-- we consider ourselves healthy individuals and then out of nowhere pain comes about.Hope it goes away soon!!
