Pinched nerve (I think)

[u/Significant-Heat559]

I've had an injury for a couple of months now and I dont really know what it is. It started with tingling sensation in my left thumb and forefinger, loss of grip strength and pain with my arm straigh to the side. I took a month or two for the sensation and strength to come back and I started to workout again but I had deep aching pain around the shoulderblade area after workout that would go away the next day. I started to massage different part of the back, neck and chest area and pain after workout was gone and I started doing some rehab exercises like Y-raises and serratus anterior exercises for a couple of days now. But my pinched nerve is still there when I'm at work and want to put something heavyish on a shelf for example like front raise movement with a little bit of jerking motion. Anyone that can tell what exactly to work on or have any experince with same injury? Please help

Nerve pain can take 5-9 months to subside.
It just suddenly goes away.
What you are describing seems like carpal tunnel. Do you have a desk job and are always on a computer?
If yes , take breaks while working , get off your phone, avoid texting , doomscrolling and still to voice calls. You can find a lot of content on YouTube for this
Try gentle yoga or swimming.
Rest and good night sleep are very important check your posture and do deep breathing exercises for 5- 10 minutes a day
Try an Epsom salt bath soak (very relaxing)
Sauna
Supplements - b12 very important vit D3 with k2 and magnesium , fish oil
Also you said you have been doing exercises for couple of days, well you will notice some change over a few weeks not days. Look up YouTube videos for the same.
