Trapped nerve in my neck but pain ran the length of my arm

Posted By Balgay Hill

"Trapped nerve in my neck but pain ran the length of my arm"

About: Physiotherapy - South Ayrshire

(as the patient),

I visited physio convinced I had tennis elbow. Physio asked a few questions and did several short tests.

I clearly saw the difference between both my arms,

Physio explained matters clearly and  even after some initial neck exercises, the strength started to return to my arm and wrist.

Fantastic experience and very relieved.

Bad posture sitting in front of a computer screen the likely root cause.

Dear Balgay Hill

I would like to thank you for taking the time and trouble to share this lovely feedback with us on Care Opinion.

It is reassuring to know that our physiotherapist was able to listen to you, assess your symptoms and provide some advice and exercises to help you regain the strength in your arm and wrist. This is a lovely example of the person centred care that we strive to deliver.

Our staff really appreciate receiving feedback from their patients and if you would like me to pass your lovely comments to the physiotherapist who treated you, can you please let me know where you were treated to ensure I get your feedback to the appropriate Team. You can do this by return response or via aa.patientexperienceteam@aapct.scot.nhs.uk

Please accept my best wishes for your ongoing recovery and thank you once again for taking the time to acknowledge your care experience.

Kind regards

Pamela
