Finally, a useful video about real pain in TH-cam. Thanks a lot
this actually worked after about 20 million videos, thanks so much
I'm still looking think I'm on my 50million & 1 video! This pinch nerve is a killer with numb arm & pins & needles in my fingers! Cry in pain😭
This. Man's a genius. Really helped. Actually worked
Thank you for posting this video. I have been having pains and this really gives me an insite to what might be the problem.
Todd Durkin Hi, I have been living with extreme numbness, tingling,, pain, and tremor on my right arm all the way down to wrist for close to 20 years! I believe this started after an 'epidural procedure' I had for my neck to relieve headaches I was and still am suffering from. I was fearful of doing the injection and my mom encouraged me to do it and as I remember it the medicine spilled out onto my arm. I had such pain back then I had to go to emergency room! But now these days it's more a numbness issue! I am at a point now where I can barely feel my right arm anymore. It has gotten worse with time. It just feels awful. And it has kept me awake at night with pain as well as the tremors/arm spasms I get mostly in a rest position or lying down. I saw a pain doctor and he addressed many of my health problems, including this one. He ordered an EMG test. In your experience, are those emg's really painful or problematic in arms? They won't make me even worse will they? What are your recommendations for a noise/light/touch sensitive person on autistic spectrum as I am who has multiple health issues, much more sensitivity to everything than neurotypicals have, and everything seems complicated and difficult to achieve! Anything I can tell them to make it easier on me in my testing? And after I get the results what doctor do I need to see and what do I need to do to eliminate this pain and numbness and somehow make my arm normal again? Will I ever be able to feel my arm/wrist again? Thanks!
Thank you Dr Kahl. Felt good instantly. Specially the last two exercises: wall stretch and shoulder blade squeezes were fantastic. Thanks for sharing Todd.
Been suffering with this problem since 2001, with the symptoms progressively getting worse over the years an just a few days of relief in that time, which i could never figure-out how the pain would ease or get worse. I wondered if it was down to how i slept, or over-training, a trapped nerve or if my muscles were just tight and needed a stretch (but after watching this vid, i realise now i was doing all the stretches that were making the conditon worse!). After just an hour of gentle intermittent shoulder blade squeezes, i'm already feeling relief from the pain. Thank-you for sharing this knowledge! Very grateful!!!
nathan jones you are in the same condition i am we thanks to this dr. forever!!!!
+nathan jones I like this video, basically the given advice for peripheral neuropathy pain. I've aslo found some other resources that can be helpful for peripheral neuropathy pain treatment is Skyarza Neuropathy Treatment Star - it should be on google if you need it
+nathan jones My neuropathy came from a work accident back in September of 2012. :( The 15th of this month will be 3 years I've been living with it and it is VERY uncomfortable! It has weakened the muscles in both arms and has made me more tired than ever, but i'm still going, not letting this disease stop me! I might try that medicine soon called Nerve Fix. There's another one called NerveRenew, but i'm trying Nerve Fix first to see what it does, if I can tell if it helps me or not. 60 tablets per bottle, so it's worth it definitely, if it works! I'm keeping my fingers crossed it works!

Great I love your video, especially the tips on identifying location of the problem
- neuropathy pain. What I found useful for nerve pain treatment
is Skyarza Neuropathy Treatment Star - If you are interested search on google
for it
The tight pecs minor and scalenes causes an impingement of the median nerve and artery going under the clavicle (collar bone). The artery impingement cause lack of nutrients and oxygen so the body can't sustain repetitive motion. You can reverse it you doing exercises to stretch scalenes and pecs minor. keep searching on you tube for these.
It's amazing, I was suffering from severe shoulder pain, I tried sterday it's working.
A great thank you for this explanation of something I suffer with
hey ,if anyone else trying to find out nerve pain try Skyarza Neuropathy Treatment Star (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my m8 got great success with it.
Haven’t gotten evaluated but I was getting something from the fridge and a sharp pain just shot down to my wrist on my right arm just randomly. This video helped it tremendously thank you.
Thank You Sir, hope you both have a blessed day.
wow, very informational and thorough ..... wish i could find a doc like that
Thank you for these exercises.
I will contact PT in my area and get evaluated as you suggested. These movements are amazing and have given me hope that I can help myself ...hopefully without further surgical intervention.

Not sure if it’s thoracic, shoulder, or nerve pressure that is causing the shoulder, arm, and hand pain, hand numbness and stiffness, and decreased motor control (I have even had shoulder surgery with no avail), but this helped
Thank you so much. I have had pain in my left arm which radiates sometimes all the way to my wrist and even up to my shoulder. I will try the shoulder and neck exercise.
Every stretch I learn helps. Thank you Doctor.
I do my stretches with a beer in the other hand. Talk with your doctor to see if beer is right for you.
Thanks a million Doctor.
Realy did work, I was having agonising pain for days, thought I'd check the video out and it realy worked 👍 pain free
He's perfectly correct :) - pectoralis minor originates from ribs 3-5 and inserts into the coracoid process of the shoulder blade - it's a deeper and smaller muscle (than pec major). Tightness in pec minor is often involved in neck/shoulder/arm problems, and in poor posture.
You can do a search for a good image of pec minor to better understand where it is ;)
You sir, are a saviour. Thank you thank you thank you.
Lovely, thank you 🙏
Hey Doctor put more videos for stretching for radial and ulnar nerve... we love you!!! Thanks very much!!!!

was xtremely helpful. thankyou.
I have tingling in my right arm because I spin yarn on a spinning wheel. ..these are going to help! Thanks doc!
wow what a great advice!!!! Thank you you helped me a lot!!!!! Thank you ....
Sean, Do not have an emg. It has caused my pain to get worse. I had an interscalene block that damaged the nerves and given me vascular compression. Will try these exercizes.
This video really helped me to point out the correct symptoms.Thanks for the simple demonstration.Skyarza neuropathy treatment star could help which I found in Google for relief from nerve pain.Jim Hamilton
i have pretty severe pains in my right arm which ive had for over a year . i had mri ,many other x rays and nerve conduction tests and have had no diagnosis
You stretch the Pec Minor by lifting the elbow above the shoulder. The Coracoid Process needs to be lifted superiorly to lengthen the pec minor. Other than that, good video.
He doesnt know anatomy well enough
Thank you thank you thank you
Thank you.
You said the stretch shown at 3:30 is for pectoralis major and it is not necessary. But that stretch is for PECTORALIS MINOR and it is a must for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. As a doctor, shouldn't spread the wrong information.
I know how it feels but I developed some hernia after a martial art fight, and it is caused the nerve to have some level clamping. The worst pain I ever felt and pain killers didn't work so I had to take it all with meditation and so for.
thanks for this video,its very usefull,this is my case
Great video thank you
thanks for the info
I find out my from ultrasound by lifting my arm in difference positions and show the uneven pulse, so i did physical therapy with out procedure. How ever after I lost 30 pounds of weight my symptoms is going away on it own
uneven pulse how?
Has it returned
Thank you. 🙏
As a TOS sufferer for ten years plus that first stretch has me screaming at the very thought! Sitting on hand or arm behind my back I wouldn't physically be able to do that or stand the pain.
I have tos. I've had my 1st rib removed July of 2015. I live in pain that pinches and pulls in my shoulder very close to my spine and I have a trigger point that Can be felt as it sticks out of my my shoulder blade. I'm interested in speaking with you about non-surgical techniques. I've tried botox, acupuncture, and recently seen a chiropractor. I'll check back here as I couldn't find your contact information
Sitting in certain positions, holding arm upwards or forwards for short durations causes tingling/numbness in my hand. My scalenes do feel tight, but near my clavicle us also tender? Advice is much appreciated as my general practitioner and physio are useless.
Thanks ♡♡
That’s what happened to me when I was installing a 16’ X 18th block patio by my self. I’m a 66 year old woman.
I have s pinched nerve...its been about a month now....ive been getting no sleep. Horrible pain tgat radiates and numbness and tingling. Just started to see a nuero chiropractor. Hope this helps me....pains starting to interfere heavily with quality of life.
i no i have that prob with the pec you were talking bout i was just wondering if it could also cause neck and upper back pain. in past months iv had bad neck upper back shoulder chest and arm pain. it reduced down to now chest and arm pain now.
so what type of doctor is qualified to do appropriate exam? GP, internal med....or is there a specific specialty that is morw appropriate ...thank u...mine is actually colder and neuropathy w/some weakness...thanks!!
Please advise how many reps and sets of these exercises. Also so how many times a day .and for how many weeks.Thanks
I I found you online. Unfortunately you aren't near me. I am in Boston. I am still interested in speaking with you. I have a complex case of both venous and neurogenic TOS. I am currently under a surgeons care for venoplaty. However, I am sick and tired of the pinching pulling burning pain in my back. My Subclavian and Basillica veins are so damaged from long-term compression i have venoplastys annually since my clots and subsequent rib resection. I am tired of surgery and looking for ANYTHING I can do to get relief. If you are able and interested I'd like very much to find out what I can do to avoid a brexial plexus decompression surgery.
How are you now
Hi, I dont know what to do with my right arm. I feel as if it has been pulled hard. I had an incidence with a person who pulled me hard surprisingly. He was facing me, pulled me hard on my right arm by his right hand and as that he pulled me towards him to his right side and hit me on my side ribs. I hit the floor so hard that I alost fainted . I developed a whiplash and both my shoulders aches for years. Headaches . Then my arm seems losen. I have trouble changing clothes I have to lift my rigth arm with the help of my left hand. What sgould I do? I have a constant pain right at the side lower right neck. Thanks for the help.
I have been lying down on a long bench and letting my arms hang "outward". My entire left arm is so stiff that I can barely uncurl my hand. I have all the symptoms of thoracic outlet, but I don't know where it originates.
It is two-thirty PM. I have not slept at all since the previous day due to the pain in my arms/shoulders/neck.
I started feeling better literally the MOMENT I began these exercises.

What about ulnar nerve ? . I believe I plays a huge rule . The subluxation
I had bad phlegm and was coughing it up forcefully.
I feel better but i now have a sore bruising pain in my chest. Ive noticed it radiates to my funny bone. Could this be a pinched nerve.
Not sure if i should go get checked out.
My bro in law went in and was diagnosed with pneumonia. But like i said i feel better no coughing or phlegm. Just a sore left side of my chest and tingling down my left arm.
Please let me know
Thanks.
Nice exercises but im a bit confused about the treatment being bad for the nerve bc its stretching but good bc its opening things up. U say these exercises will increase pain and therefore don't do them. Did I hear that right? I do feel that stretching my neck on the right side makes it hurt more but I feel like I need to do something to release the pain. I will try some exercises you showed and see what happens
When I do scapular squeezes I feel pain in my neck around the front or middle scalene. Is this normal?
I have a left arm pain ,it start in my neck down to my arm...I'm just so worried,because some doctors says that I have a heart problems,it it true?help me to a answer my question thank you
After a year and 2 fysiotherapiata..1 ortho manuel therapist worked on me and i still have the same problems..and now my hands are numb..left hand has a knot under the middlefingerbone..it causes pain in my nerves..i sleep terrible..and i spent all my money on not being cured..all so called qualified
Has it improved
We have the same problem ..mine was gone ..i jog and walk everyday in some oval in our town every morning under the sunlight ..7:3o a.m to 9:00 a.m.(Asia)
Sunlight in the morning and exercise is a best therapy of all body pain and avoid red meat..
It's always best to see a medical professional and be misdiagnosed. 😂
plz suggest me some exercises for brachial plexus injury ...all 5 nerves damaGed...rupture injury.....i got operated in august 2016...got 4 nerves directly repaired...while C6 nerve wasn't repaired....heLp!
Do sizure count
I having this kinda pain over two months now, I had surgery on my right arm 4 years ago so I'm not sure if that's something got to do with it

I got this pain on my upper shoulder 1 year ago during playing badminton, it still hurts i dont know much about pain and cause. What can i do?
Hey
I’m suffering from LN Nerve damage and was wondering what I can do to get some relief and possibly fix the condition, the stupid dentist hit my nerve with the injection and I have been suffering for almost 2 year’s
How has it been in terms of healing
What kind of pain ISN’T nerve pain? How else is pain conducted?
My pain started in my right hand predominantly in my thumb, index and middle finger. sort of like a burning sensation and numbness. and now it's reached my elbow and upper arm. I have done nerve testing and came out negative. it's extremely painful and I have no strength in my hand. what can it be?
Really great advice but I can't help but notice he appears to exhibit the forward-head posture that is conducive to thoracic outlet syndrome!
Hey doctor can we contact somewhere for a problem that I have?
sir my left wrist pain and left side of neck sometimes can i do this .. my doctor only gave me muscle relaxant .. bu tdont work.. sir pls help me ... reply sir
What if these excercises worsen my symptoms?
The suggested Skyzara treatment --- you have to buy a book,! Lots of talk,talk,talk, , hum. Makes me wonder about how real it is?
He sounds like an advertising troll.
My neck been bugging me lately and my arm now
I get it in the other arm, is it different?
my wrist is hutring it feels weird no tingling it just feels like sore or somethign! whats this called? this use to happen to my legs when i was younger, it happened today and i didnt even move a lot
I wish it was possible to visit a medical professional to make anything sure. Mostly it's being sent to another medical professional and everyone references to someone else so none has to make anything sure.
i have got he same pain in my left muscle from neck to shoulders, should i follow the same excercise,,,

Pls help for guidness
And thank you

my girlfriend has those symptoms, she suffers shoulder/arm pain for months now, she went to doctors and none of them have an idea of what happens to her, seh got the MRI exam but they found nothing, what would you recommend us to do next, the pain just gets worse more and more.
look at carpal tunnel master.com
use that arm less and less so it can get rested. especially dont play any games not even video games. no heavy lifting either. the mind is faster than the body and her arm cannot keep up with the speed of the mind.
check to see if one shoulder is lower and the other higher; if so then its posture related ie legs and feet.
i hope she is already doing well since its been a while with your post
This mentions nothing of trigger point therapy, which after ten years has been the only therapy that helps me.
Ia am physiotherapy student and i am highly intrested to get scholarship program in PT can u help me ..pls

For some reason TH-cam is removing my post. I’ll repost it here.
“NERVE GLIDE”: remember this too
I dealt with TOS for a year mostly because of wait times to see doctors and no one able to figure it out. The severe nerve pain only really started when I laid down to sleep and went from what felt like behind the shoulder blades to the elbows and then to the hands and fingers. Felt like balls of fire behind the shoulder blades and my hands would feel dead. 2 fingers would seemingly feel like the dislocated in my left hand and I would have to make fists repeatedly to get them to go back into place. I could only sleep for about 30-45 minutes at a time and would have to sit up for an hour at least for the numbness and pain to go away. During the day my right elbow hurt fairly significantly along with the top forearm muscles in that arm but I thought I aggravated an old injury. The muscles of my whole upper right quadrant of my body atrophied(back and front). It was getting scary seeing it in the mirror.
On to how I was fixed:
My regular PT went on vacation and while I was explaining my issues to the fill-in PT and doing the exercises I normally do she mentioned thoracic outlet syndrome and it’s symptoms. She explained that our nerves don’t stretch so we need proper nerve glide. Towards the end of the session she said she wanted to try something.
I laid down on a bench and she sat next to me having me rest my right arm in her lap. She would bend my arm from the elbow up and down gently while she felt around for tender spots from the right side of the neck area to the front of my shoulder where it was pointed out in this video. As soon as she touched that muscle they talked about on the front shoulder, I flenched. She began to gently massage that muscle as she continued to bend my arm from the elbow up and down as it lay in her lap. After the session, almost immediately I felt something was different even though I had no nerve pain or numbness during that time. That night my grip strength increased and I was able to sleep. I called to thank her the next morning. I’ve never felt such gratitude for someone as I did her. That one session literally healed me. The strength in my arms started coming back, there was no more nerve pain and numbness, and I haven’t had pain in my elbows for over 3 years now. I dealt with pain in my elbows for many many years from what I thought stemmed from an injury as a teenager.
I say all this just in case it could help at least one person. That year was a nightmare of pain and it was fixed so simply in 1 single session with a knowledgeable PT.
@@charlesp7504 did you get pain along your collarbone too?
@@justinroper4220 I don’t recall pain in my collar bone specifically. My right shoulder has a tear in it somewhere from an injury about 15 years prior which is likely the culprit for everything being out of whack. I’m not sure. It’s soreness at times could have seemed like collar bone pain too the way that it could feel. But like I mentioned, not specifically during that year.
My elbow hurts and it causes my fingers to tingle/fell numb. What can it be?
My elbow hurt too when I had thoracic outlet syndrome. You can read my post above yours to see how I was fixed with a simple massage in one of the muscles they mentioned in this video.
@@charlesp7504 it’s only when I wake up
Sitting most of the day is 75% of this problem.
I work alot might be work realted
At 0:52 she looks so uncomfortable when he touched her neck
Btw good video mate 😉
i thought she had no expressions or response. i guess she was underpaid or in a lot of pain
Problem is soon as I'm done stretching tingling and pain come back in arms and hand
is that really how to stretch the scalene? the scalenes are a cervical flexor, ipsilateral sidebender and contralateral rotator! wouldnt it be better to depress the first rib(ant and mid scalene) and then put the head in the opposite positions? i feel like you were stretching the upper trap.
i disagree on the pec minor stretch too. the pec minor pulls on the corocoid process of the scapula. if you dont at least put the arm out to the side level with the shoulder you are still in downward orientated position of the scapula. you should put the hand of the side that needs stretching on to your head, then using a wall or doorway put a stretch on the pec minor.
