O.K. After months of treating as Carpyl Tunnel I went to a "shock doctor" - atleast that's what I call him - at some physical rehab place called IPMR. Anyways he puts gell and positive/negative elctrodes all over my body and hookes up this hand held shocker and through my skin shocks me with it in different areas to make my nerves twitch and my hand and other areas of the body jump as a reaction.
He then poked me with a need I don't know what the hell it did but I got poked about 20 times or so should down to wrist and in my palm ... and did some kind of electric crap too... He was also using measuring tape for some reason. Anyways, the good news - He tells me I do not have carpyl tunnel. Bad news was if he had to guess it was tendonitis (tennis elbow) which is screwed up cause I don't play tennis, LOL So this morning I get a call from my doctor (actually her nurse) and she tells me they now want to send me to a damn neurologists for further testing? What in the hell does my brain have to do with this crap, kind of freaks me the hell out.. Any of you (Grimm I would love to hear from you on this subject) who have ANY idea about this tpe of stuff make a post and let me know.. As I am clueless and sort of worried... Nothing about neurology ws mentioned before and I'll die before I let someone operate on my damn brain - I'm already stupid enough

Don't be concerned Ryan...They probably want to check and see is you have
a pinch nerve. Which could be causing the problem. |

If it is a pinched nerve I think something weird would of showed up on that test as well since he was checking how all my nerves on my right side reacted to electical impulses. If it was oinched even from my back to my right shoulder you would think the nerves in my arm would be affected somewhat slightly. That again, maybe they were as I couldn't understand half of what the doctor said. All I know is he told me I have no nerve damage, he thought it was probably tendonitis and I should just take an anti-inflammatory. Next morning my doctor calls and tells me time to setup an appointment with a neurologists... Freaks me the hell out to tell you the truth. |

No worries Ryan honey, at least not yet, so don't stress yourself out...
It appears that you are describing a nerve conduction study.. (those can be very painful) the results of that test are/or will be sent to a neurologist. It's really a shame the way our medical professionals send us from one to another... you'd think one doctor could do it all... however, after the nerve conduction study, that doctor will look at the results and send it on... the neurologist will then call you in and go over the results with you... If it is a pinched nerve, or other problem with the spine or nerves, it is only (professionally) a neruologist who can actually diagnosis that issue... (at least that has been my experience) If there is any type of surgery done associated with these problems, it is always a neurologist who preforms such proceedures... they don't just operate on ya brain ![]() ps: I can't spell

The spinal column is the heart of your nerve system. If it's out of wack you could have a problem on your foot, your shoulder your neck, arm you name it.
Take it easy with the extra curricular activities. :P |

![]() Patty, I had no ideas... I seriously thought neurologists only performed surgery on your brain and studied MRI's etc of your head... That makes me feel a little better. My brother still has to see a chripopractor, over his 4 years of high school football he tore all the ligaments in his right shoulder first... Then he played on while the chiropractor was working on that shoulder and destroyed his left shoulder. From what i hear he will never be able to do much in the field of heavy lifting, good thing he is going to Western to be a sports journalist - That boy amazes me the stats he has remember... players names by numbers on eve pro team... etc. And that was when he was a Junior in high school! |

the electronic pads your doctor was using are stim pads, they stimulate specific muscles and groups to see how this effects the pain, and also to time the response. if the doctor can figure out which stabilizing and load bering muscles are not doing there job, a physical therapist can isolate and strengthen the muscle, without using the afflicted tendon. The needles are for the nerves, pretty much a pain/response test to test for any nerve damage. if it hurt, thats a good thing, damaged or unattached nerves dont carry pain signals properly to your brain ![]() Tendonitis is a much better diagnosis than Carpal Tunnel.. its generally not necessary to have it scoped, unless it is torn of course, and it will feel immediately better once the therapy starts, as opposes to Carpal Tunnel, where the immobolization itself would cause your wrist to atrophy to a degree where it would be useless. upside is you might get some pain killers out of it
