Tried the gym and I have serious problems. Even warming up, I started to jump up and down and it hurt my ribcage. I did light squats and my arm and fingers tingled. I tried light overhead press and it felt odd but went up...perhaps uneven. Then I tried pull-ups and went up at an angle, as my left arm didn't pull.

I can't jump up and down, and that's to say I can't run - or shouldn't run - as just bouncing makes my back feel like it's pulling on my nerves across my shoulder, back, and down my arm.

Just like last time I had nerve damage, the muscle isn't firing or working under control. I'm not sure who to check in with - GP? Ortho again? I can email the ortho and he'll probably respond. I could also just go light a couple weeks and see if I get better in a few weeks.

I'm not in immediate pain (that would be cute if I returned to extreme pain too) but I'm completely fucked.

it's a pinched nerve, correct? if that's the case, ask about PT/massage therapy to loosen the pressure on the netve. but if you have no contol yet and want to run, maybe a binder/sling that locks that arm in place would help. (that let me move w/out making shit worse while my shoulder pinched nerve relaxed.

Thanks - that makes sense.

Researching pinched nerves. Want to work out, it seems that's a bad idea. Unlike muscles, they just need rest.
