I fell off of a trampoline and broke the two bones in my right arm in the 5th grade and I’m 17 now. The only therapy I had was when the nurses made me turn my arm a few different ways so they knew when to take the cast off, and then during the one follow-up.
Now I get this shooting pain that starts at the joint in my wrist and ends just before my funny bone. It happens randomly, but usually starts when I stretch out my hand to grab something. I also hit my funny bone a lot. I mean like constantly, about 5 or 6 times a week.
I’ll have my arm in the same position for a few minutes, and then my funny bone will randomly start to hurt just like the bone in my arm does. As for the shooting pain, its like: I feel this tingle on the outside bone in my arm, and as soon as I realize it, it turns into the general pain.
Is this because I never went through phsyical therpay, or does it just happen?
Thanks!
(Sorry for the long question)
