When It’s Not Just a Muscle: Peripheral Nerve Injuries in Athletes
“Tingling in the hands during training, a ‘dead foot’ mid-run, or unexplained weakness in grip or push-off strength is often dismissed as a minor issue. In sport, these symptoms can reflect peripheral nerve irritation or entrapment, where mechanical compression or repetitive load affects neural function.”
Read the full article for symptoms (“presentation”) and rehabilitation (“physiotherapy approach”)
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (Median Nerve – Wrist): Median nerve compression at the wrist is common in cycling, climbing, gymnastics, and resistance training.
- Cubital Tunnel Syndrome (Ulnar Nerve – Elbow): Ulnar nerve irritation at the elbow is common in throwing athletes, cyclists, and gym-based training involving sustained elbow flexion.
- Radial Nerve Palsy or Irritation (Upper Arm): Radial nerve dysfunction can occur through compression or traction in contact sports, falls, or heavy resistance training.
- Common Peroneal Nerve Irritation (Fibular Head – Knee): The common peroneal nerve is vulnerable as it wraps around the fibular head, particularly in running and field sports.
- Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome (Tibial Nerve – Ankle): Tibial nerve compression behind the medial malleolus is commonly seen in runners and jumping athletes.
- Obturator Nerve Entrapment (Groin / Inner Thigh): Less common but important in multidirectional and kicking sports.
- Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve Entrapment (Meralgia Paresthetica): Compression of the LFCN under the inguinal ligament, often related to repetitive hip flexion or external compression from clothes or equipment.

Run Report
It wuz an awesome turnout this past Saturday at the top of Forbidden Drive. The photo setting was the 2 benches that SRC sponsored and dedicated to Zen Yanni and Happy Vince.
With fall race season gearing up, the distance numbers are going up, too (Themz).
5 people congregated at Roxy where the-club-namesake Shawmont Ave and Ridge Avenue meet (Google Maps). One person returned via the “shade longer” route (Ridge Avenue to Andorra Drive) and 4 returned via the “longer shade” route (Wises Mill Road back to Forbidden Dr).
Stroller (FKA Bryce) adopted a new trail tag. (He felt left out.)
