Got diagnosed with cubital tunnel syndrome yesterday (compressed nerve in elbow). Have been having issues for nearly 2 months since a shitty blood draw (nerve was NOT struck during draw. Blood inflamed nearby tissue which inflamed nerve). Going to try to heal it naturally, but finding out I basically can't flex my arm at all for 2-3 months sounds crazy. Either that or surgery. Trying my damn best to stay positive, but this affects my work badly, I can't work out, my upper body will likely waste away, and even daily tasks are such a bitch now. Guess I could use some words of encouragement from people who overcame tough health problems and if anyone has tips/tricks for calming down an irritated nerve outside of what the Dr. recommended. May try HBOT. Fuck man. I was always so thankful for my health, this is really brutal atm.
