Our user asked: "I have mild ulnar nerve compression at the elbow and wrist since March 2013. Have been seeing PT, and most recently had a "negative" test at the wrist, showing improvement. I had a new PT yesterday who was more "rough" than my usual therapist. Very symptomatic today. Did he set me way back? Could he have reinjured the nerve?"

Ask a PT Response: "Did the new PT do the exact same things as your other PT? Depending on what the PT did with you, you might be experiencing some increase irritation. How are you doing now? Are you better?"
