As more and more people are getting into bodybuilding, and the levels
of quality bodybuilding physique continue to rise, a new epidemic is
beginning to become prevalent: Nerve injuries. Advanced training
techniques, heavier poundages, and chemical advances also lead to
higher instances. Nerve damage is a serious cause of delay and
sometimes failure in bodybuilding careers, and any symptoms of it
should be addressed immediately with your physician.
Causes
Nerve injuries, or peripheral nerve injuries to be more precise,
occur when excessive trauma, stretching, or compression occurs in a
muscle group.
Symptoms
Any sort of tingling, pain, weakness, or numbness in muscle group
area could be a sign of nerve damage, particularly if sensation
continues for weeks.
Testing
An examination of the affected area for physical response as well as
nerve conductivity leads your doctor to making a determination. This
is not something that can be self-diagnosed accurately.
Additional risk factors
Athletes using human growth hormone are very prone to carpal tunnel
syndrome as the components of the wrist begin their very slow
thickening due to the GH functions. Nerve compression in wrists,
hands, and feet is very common in GH users....
