I was involved in a head on collision back in July and it left me with a lot of torn muscles and some nerve damage but my main issue is my right wrist was broken up into my arm. Now when I go to lift, pus, pull or curl... it causes serve pain that radiates up into my arm and neck and then my ring finger and pinky finger go numb. Short of going back to the ortho surgeon to see if it might after all require surgery I was hoping that some advice from the board might help. i do wear gloves with wrist wrap and I have every since I started lifting due to prior injuries. I've never had this type of seering pain shoot up my arm. This is all very frustrating because I am ready to get back to the gym and due something other than treadmill and aqua training.

im so very sorry tht u have this problem.. but to me it sounds like u have massive nerve damage and it takes a vry long long time for nerves to recover.. especially trama as urs.. if it is nerve damge you pretty much screwed because form what i heard it takes years for nerve damage to heal totally.. u might want to try a brace instead of a strap.. maybe alittle icy hot might help.. but when it comes to nerve damage i personally dont think tht u can really do anything to alleviate tht... i had nerve damage before and it took over 2 years for me to fully recover form it.. ur training will be toned down consiterable until the nerver start to heal more...
