Wanda, if you can please reproduce this and if Paul can provide a musical accompaniment, I believe you have just described the next YouTube video to go viral, or at least to headline the next Mele Monday. |

I know there was a study by whom and when I cannot remember, but the gist of it was that frequent massage of the area helps tremendously. Additionally one of the things that helped me stretch the muscle and therefore take the strain off the tendon and release the ulnar nerve that was being compressed was a very weird exercise:

Maybe 10 minutes later, try it again and hold it longer. Keep doing that as often as you can think and it really will help stretch the muscles and relieve ulnar nerve pain and stretch the muscles and tendons in that area.
What Haolenuke says really for sure works.
Then begin to sing "Up in the air Junior birdmen", etc |

| Good news! I went to a chiropractor. He had me take my shoes off and told me that my right foot was crooked. I told him that I broke that ankle 11 years ago. He told me that my balance was off, my right foot was affecting my neck and left shoulder. After 2 adjustments, my left arm is fine. I also got better orthotics for my shoes. Amazing. |

Woo-hoo, Kory! It is amazing that your foot affected your neck & shoulder. But I am glad you found relief!
Goes to show that the foot bone is connected to the ankle bone and the ankle bone is connected to the.........and so on. |

| Yes, Chris, I did. I have been pondering this for a little while and thinking about whether a chiropractor could help me. And if insurance would pay for it. It sure bears further investigation. |

Wanda,
The beauty of seeing a D.O is that an insurance company will pay for it just like any other doctor visit. Getting them to pay for a chiropractor is a bit iffy. Of course, if you are in an HMO you would need to get a referral from your primary care physician. |
