    I purchased Hammacher Schlemmer http://www.hammacher.com/Product/77310?promo=search&query=77310&PID=4018641&source=cj

    to massage my tight forearm muscles due to having cubital tunnel syndrome, and I also love this item http://flextend.com/symptomscubitaltunnel.html to help simultaneously strengthen and lenghten my short and tight forearm muscles.,…and I swear by it.  My condition is far too advanced to heal on its own, so I'll need surgery.  However, my husband began experiencing carpal tunnel syndrome due to typing and began using these products and now he's all good.  Good luck, and don't let the condition worsen.  Rest more days in between poling.  I've been really busy with getting certified as a Pilates instructor, and haven't had much time to invest in Poling, but I'm glad I've given my arms lots of rest.  Every now and then I get an itch for it and do manage to put some time into it, but I pay close attention to how my arms feel and take at least a couple days of rest in between.

    @peaceloveblonde…funny thing is that I was looking back at my old practice videos and noticed I would constantly shake my hands to relieve tension/tightness in my forearm muscles. I think it’s important to identify any pain you’re having and linking it to what you’ve been doing, so you can avoid any pitfalls. If you’re feeling pain in your arm lay low for a while, do research on the beneficial stretches, definitely see an orthopaedic surgeon (as azzwoo adviced) and take it from there. @azzwoo…going to try out the icing and the NSAIDs the orthopaedic surgeon prescribed that I’ve been avoiding to take. I don’t feel any pain unless I try to internally rotate my forearm. The pain is at the outside of my wrist. I don’t feel any numbness in the pinky and half of ring finger though. At times some burning pain around the elbow. The stretches I’ve been doing does help some. But the healing process at the wrist is taking so long.

    @mrsfloppyears…thank you for the advice! I’ve been considering that, but never knew that massage therapists actually specialize in certain areas. So good to know!! I’m definitely going to locate one in the area.
    @svarri…glad to know massage therapy really works wonders!

    Here’s my final upload on the December Challenge. Sorry I uploaded the video like a million times! Please post your comments in this most recent upload. I was just trying to get the same video quality as most everyone else’s videos on this site.
    I’ve tried various compression file uploads 34, 45, 60, 70 before finally realizing that I no longer have to compress the file for it to upload without errors https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
    So I just uploaded my original 76 MB movie and it looks just right!!!

    So I tried that and still the changes I made do not show. Before the website format changed I was able to edit my descriptions using an edit link but now that edit link is not available. I wonder if it’s the way I’m going about editing. I have found the only way to do it is by going into the Upload Video link and instead of uploading a video I go into the edit tools icon for whichever video description or title I want to change.

    Perhaps there is a different way that I am not aware of?

    Thanks Veena, I’ll check out the link you provided! I hope I have enough time to prepare for this. I’ve been a bit under the weather these days and am trying to regain my energy.

    For the amateur, can anyone tell me what a 1 half spin is? Also, what’s an example of a pose done on the floor?

    I might do this one. I’m not sure I understand what a 1 half spin is?

    I received mine just last week. I contacted her around the 6th week after ordering and she quickly responded. She was very polite in her email and explained the situation. It took about 9 weeks to receive it but I got it. If you’ve ordered it and are still waiting, I would give her a chance and not cancel your order just yet.

    I love this idea too! It’ll help me with that extra boost I need to move on. I feel like I just keep working on the same spins over and over again.
