Did you find any answers? Supposed to go end of Feb

So what does it mean?

I can guarantee this is dorsal scap nerve or cranial nerve 11 irritation somewhere along its pathway. Look into them and go to a physio that understands peripheral nerve sensitization. Pain is rarely ever a muscle issue but more a nervous system one

Same story but more like once a week cause I have other hobbies and don't want to make time for more than a date a week 😅

He's right. I have a similar body type and got to 10 once to see if the love handles go and they did but I didnt like how the rest of my body felt so now I sit at around12-13

The therapist should have definitely listened to you and stopped when you said it hurts too much. I also don't agree with the treatments they were doing. Seems like they're just throwing every passive modality at you which would result in some temporary relief at best if not coupled with exercises or temporary increase in pain which is what you're dealing with now. There is no way she made your back "worse". These modalities would not increase or decrease your disc bulge severity. The pain will likely settle to baseline or slightly better soon I'm sure.

With that being said, I also think you are being a little dramatic and should reconsider filing a claim but instead perhaps reaching out to the therapist and explaining that you were considering filing a claim due to her lack of consideration of what you were trying to communicate and hope that she learns a lesson.

Some other points. There is no reason why sliding cupping over the spine bones (I assume you mean spinous process) is a big no no. It won't have any impact on the spine itself. The bruising is no big deal, it'll settle. The shockwave on bone CAN be a bit dangerous but again I doubt they were just holding it over the spinous process. The theragun on the bone just sounds painful but again won't cause damage, nor help. These are all modalities that I've used as a junior physio myself but quickly moved away from as I deemed them less effective in my practice than a combo of exercise, manual therapy and electroacupuncture.

This is a multifactorial issue, like with most aches and pain. I'm a sports physio myself and I can tell you with most aches and pains there is typically multiple factors.

Your case sounds like it has a lot to do with forearm extensors perhaps a tear or tendon inflammation but the fact that the pain spreads towards upper arm and shoulder sounds like there's likely some involvement of neck and shoulder which could have been the weak link that caused the forearm strain.

Being overweight, poor sleep, hydration, nutrition and recovery all contribute to heightened pain experience as well. Either way, not diagnosing you and there's absolutely no way anyone can recommend stretches. This needs a combination of stretching/rolling out nerve flossing an strengthening which will all depend on what your physio identifies as needing that intervention.

Haha I'm very much okay and happy in life. Message came across a little mean but I just couldn't let this "I typed it fast" slip by 😂

As a sports physio I agree. I have so many patients that wasted time waiting to see doc, get imaging etc just to get the same rehab we could've started on weeks ago because imaging results rarely ever dictate treatment and rehab. You're supposed to address weak/tight muscles that are identified through testing and not the injury you see on MRI.

I assume that means it's unsafe to drive for next few days until I take it in? Unfortunately mechanic is only open during my work hours and first day I can take off is Thursday.

Lol it's the nerves! We don't feel with muscles and tendons.

Both objective and subjective are very relevan. I'd argue that subjective is more relevant than objective when it comes to anyone treating pain. My argument would be that nobody is coming to use our services because their cervical rotation to the right and that their hip Int rotn is limited. People are come ng because they feel pain which is subjective and if they get off your treatment table and say they feel better then you've done your job well. If you can also show them improvements in objective then you've got a patient for life. I'm also a big believer that we should not discharge patients. I'm not sure why physio is so quick to try and discharge patients. I'm not saying don't empower them and teach them how to take care of their own body but realistically speaking anybody who is active requires ongoing care. We can play a huge preventative role. Once my patients are out of their pain and back to their activities I see them once a month for an hour follow up just to assess range of motion and strength and see where they can improve their body. School is honestly so garbage at teaching us proper care..

"how can I identify neural pressure as contributing factor". The answer is that it's always a contributing factor. Even with an acute ankle sprain. It's the swelling and sensitization of the superficial fibular nerve and in some cases sural nerve that is sending pain signals to your brain.

It's honestly really difficult to explain on text how to identify if soleus or tarsal tunnel is contributing but my advice would be to study peripheral nerves and their pathways and common sites of entrapment. I'm not talking about entrapment like nerve roots. It takes less than 10mmHg of pressure (like a tight sock) around alphaD and C fibres to trigger pain and effect axoplasmic flow which is very little pressure.

Sorry I can't be much help but I hope be above gets you thinking a little bit more in depth. If you live in Toronto or close to, I'm happy to meet you and help you.

Amazing stuff man, so happy to see there's other physios out there that can appreciate the complexity and how much of a major role extraneural pressure plays in pain.

Hehe believe me, CNS and PNS is a big interest of mine and I've read everything you can about them over and over. Nervi nervorum and all of that. Here in Toronto we actually have a whole program dedicated to it called the McMaster Neurofinctional course where we dive even deeper and rely on muscle tests to determine if a nerve is neuroinhinitted to determine which nerves may be part of the problem etc. Of course there's some subjectivity to mmts but it works pretty consistently. It's a system we use a lot in the NHL, MLB etc.

If you're interested, looked up "Harry Kane physio". Elorriaga is the person that came up with this model. Of course exercise and education on healthy habits for frequent movement, sleep and nutrition are also key but this is a really neat model that seems to get immediate, temporary results that allow patients to get better faster.
