For a while I've been having a tingling right hand and some pain in my right arm. My doctor couldn't find a specific injury and recommended I get some physical/occupational therapy for it, diagnosing me with ulnar paresthesias (the ulnar nerve is the funnybone nerve). He asked me what I could have done to pinch/trap the nerve, and I was at a loss--I type and knit, but not enough to cause an injury. Then last night I thought, "Hey, my right arm is my pole arm." Hmmm.
Has anyone else here ever had a repetitive strain injury or pinched nerve caused by use of the pole arm? Admittedly, I don't do a lot of pole tricks or anything, but I always use my right arm to swing around the pole or hold on to it. Just curious as to whether this could be the cause.
