I appreciate you all taking the time to answer our questions. This disease is absolutely the devil!
My name is Brandon. I'm a 34 year old male from Hermitage, TN, happily married with two children. A few weeks ago, I noticed tingling, pain and numbness that came from the inside of my elbow and radiated through my ring and pinky finger. I went to the doctor and was told it was, "Golfers Elbow." I was prescribed medication and sent to a therapist. On Monday I had my first session. It was the usual: massage, some strengthen exercises, then ice. I was sent home with some exercises to do and told to come back. Around Wednesday of this week, I started noticing my thumb on that side becoming stiff. Twitching in that limb soon followed. The thumb felt weak and almost useless. Since then, the twitching has spread to my pinky and right foot. I've also noticed fatigue in my shoulders and I'm starting to fatigue easily when walking up stairs. I know you all aren't doctors, but a little guidance would help a lot.
God Bless
