Currently having left shoulder pain, numbness and tingling in the hands/fingers as well as loss of strength in gripping. A little history, I broke my left thumb when 17. I started studying massage therapy in late 2001 while also serving in the military. I performed massage on soldiers that were having issues/complaints up until I left the military in 2010. In 2005 I blew out my left thumb from performing too many massage in a row. I kept on massaging but improvised so I would not have to use my left thumb. I was doing massage at a hospital in Iraq, so I kept massaging. In 2006, I won't go into details, but I was running at full speed (which was probably slow by some standards) with 70lbs worth of gear on, tripped and landed full force on my left hand to break my fall. I started practicing massage as a civilian in 2009. After a few months my left wrist started hurting all the way across, front and back. The thumb was also an issue. I have continued to practice up until a month or so ago, but had to stop due to the pain in the hand/wrist as well as my shoulder which has been giving trouble for 6 months or so. Having muscle spasms in my tricep and loss of strength in forearm while giving massages. I have had repeated massages from people I work with as well as other therapists in my area that I do trades with. I also go to Chiropractic regularly. I have had MRI's etc done thru the Veterans Hospital, but nothing has worked. The closest I have come to being pain free was from a MT in SC that did trigger point therapy and I was fairly pain free for the rest of the day but that was it.

If you have read all this, Thank you! Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated.
