I went to a doctor for my left hand tingling and numbness and she asked me to do a CT scan and an MRI that both were clear. She told me that I might have a mini stroke. I was so scared that I couldn’t sleep anymore. I found your video and now I understand my syndrome better as my neck hurts too when I experience numbness on my fingers. Thank you doctor.

I am a doctor (psychiatrist) and my mother developed numbness and tingling in her hands, after consulting two doctors, a neurologist and an orthopedic I was desperate because none could help. I ended up searching it myself and from this video know it is a peripheral neuropathy and I have to consult a different neurologist this time and share my own thoughts and search result. Thank you for putting this togather.

I came here after the keyboard joke😅😅😅 He really got me. This video was so helpful, had these symptoms for months now since Feb.

i had shoulder surgery and woke up up with tingling in the had, , i was sent for carel tunnel surgery that made no difference. doctor told me we can do more surgery on a different place. never mentioned PT or a brace. shoulder surgeon said it has nothing to do with shoulder surgery. this hs been going on for 4 years and i drop so many things because i do not feel what i am holding. no test were done to decide wear the nerve was being pressed. you r information was very enlightening much more than i ever heard before. i am 78 years old nd this is my biggest problem. blessing denise

Awesome video, thx doctor, I am now 99%sure that my shoulder blade pain, neck pain and this ugly pain of my triceps, elbow, as well as tingling and numbness of my 3 fingers and the palm below, comes from my neck

[SIRTONY]

BRAVO .. yes you just shared a MIRACLE for Humanity BRAVO Thank you 5 Million TIMES BRAVO

I wish instructors in manual therapies gave mini lectures like this to their students. A rather full picture of one presenting symptom that helps clinicians make sound judgement and give honest advices to patients. Thank you!

I have whole left side weakness. Face, left arm and left leg. It is like a line was drawn with a ruler in the middle of my body and left side the skin has a light loss of sensation.
Apparently the reason is the degeneration on my neck and lower back area, says my ortopedic doctor.

I also have bulging disk in the lower back which may cause my symptoms of an occasional numbness on my saddle area and genitals.

It is super useful to learn about these problems and how they are caused! Your video is amazingly clear and easy to understand! I subscribed and I find that I want to learn more and more...Because you make it easy to learn! Great skill! Your video is 10/10. Superb! 👏
Thank you so much!!!

[playinatlife]

Thanks! Great explanation! I'm going to get my old wrist brace out and try using it!

[hhspore]

Dr can moonlight as a stand up comedian. Perfect comedic timing on the keyboard promo !

[reality_is_the_key]

Turned my head to the right and BOOM! There were the symptoms I've been suffering from, just magnified! Thanks a bunch.

[gregorydobrowolski]

This is an amazing master class. Thanks for this opportunity

[trestree-cszc]

That was therapeutically funnny, the part about the keyboard at 19.99😂.

[lizaoweniudreieeudryitrw]

I loved this video. I have an appt today and one of the reasons is numbs hands every am. It’s so painful I cry. 😢

[rajeshmishra]

A clear cut information. Thank you very much doctor. I am a patient of TRAUMATIC QUARDIPLEZIA wef 21 02 21. I think a person like you can be helpful to me

[yeseniasplace]

What an incredible video. Thanks a I LEARNED so much about my hand nerve pain. I get a lot of pain in my forearm shooting to my fingers . It hapens at night i wake up screaming crying of pain. I almost bougth your 19.99 bluetooth keyboard lol

[zerbina]

Awesome information, doc! Thanks for putting it out there. It's so helpful to get to know this stuff not just as general knowledge but also as a complementary way to approach the visits with doctors, especially when you only get 10 - 15 mins appointments with them.
I'm currently investigating an issue alike. Due to my symptoms, the potential culprit was the cervical spine but after the firsts tests (x-rays, MRI), we found out all the nerves in the cervical spine are clear, and very soon I will be taking the Electric Test you mentioned.
Thanks to your video, I know I'm on the right path and what could I expect on some of the possible scenarios explained on the video.

[JacquelynneFontaine]

Thank you so much for this! As a mom of a newborn, I haven't been able to jaunt over to doctors as easily. And, as a pretty healthy person prepregnancy, it's been scary to feel such numbness. I realize gazing down at the little one isn't the best for my neck, so I'll be managing that, tying the wrist brace and checking out videos to help C6/7 tension. Many, many thanks!

[ahwell]

So useful and enjoyable. I will be able to ask better questions about this very complex topic. Thanks.

[mariafelix]

Thanks Doctor. Nobody made a clear explanation in a such synthetic and comprehensive way. God bless you.
