This is about neuropraxia, which is a temporary complication and VERY painful, scary and frustrating. HOWEVER, the prognosis is good. IF HOWEVER, if you are losing function, YOU MUST seek help as quick as you can. This could be something more serious.
This video is to give reassurance to those, like me, that are scared and dont know what to do.
So...recap.
1. Keep rotating your wrists. Imagine you are pouring a bottle.
2. Pull back from the "tug" zone and do your movements before that stretch point.
3. Internally rotate your arms and take your arms gently behind you...WHEN YOU ARE READY...and flick your wrists like you are flicking water behind you. Just do this until you feel a little tired. Try for more later.
4. Slow movements. I know...its frustrating, but slow and steady wins the race.
It tends to improve after 3 weeks, but it can take up to 6 months. You will experience "odd" feelings, like you've slept on your arms. Go with it, nerves feel weird whilst they heal.
Be kind to yourself but keep gently moving, before you know it, you will be feeling more confident and stronger.
