@Jayver17, it started like ulnar nerve pain in my upper arm, actually, and kind of shifted into my forearm. Wasn't getting better and it was before I learned about TMS so I had the MRI and they found the tear. It was only low grade and just freaked me out more when I learned later that it didn't...
