Median Nerve
1 of 3 main nerves running from your neck down your shoulder, elbow and into your fingers.
The Median nerve runs to your middle fingers and when irritated can be painful, itchy, feel like running water, burning, give you pins and needles, and even numbness. If you have any of these symptoms, it is likely you have a problem with your nerve(s).
With neck, shoulder, or elbow injuries, this nerve can get pinched, stretched, compressed, or all three.
Leaving you with pain that you can’t quite figure out, or get to go away.
