<t>So I went through an amazingly long and painful 'quantitative EMG' (which involved about two hours and 25-30 sticks, bilaterally, upper extremeties only). The rehab neurologist was very through about locating the issue. She found it coming off the cervical spine, bilaterally. Whatever it is (not ...

<t>I went to a rehab neurologist today to try and start to get the ball rolling on my issue. Not surprising, again, the diagnosis has changed. Due to 'bilateral' issues, she is convinced this is spinal, even with two EMG's that show a brachial injury. So no surprise, I get to have a third EMG - this...

<r>I'm sure many people on here know better than me as I've only consulted with 2 neurologists..<br/> <br/> Your doc is right, if youre healing naturally, go that route until there is no more progression at least.. my dr is not very fond of surgery for the condition im in at least(95%+ mobility, jus...

unable to think of comeback line right away is always an issue - or you think of it but the posibility of getting your tail kicked keeps your mouth shut - which was more my issue in high school

<r>Michelle;<br/> <br/> dont worry. There are always people like that in HS. they thrive on putting people down. she suspects you are an easier target.<br/> <br/> don't be. im sure there are issues with her. next time she tells you to straighten out your arm tell her to straighten out her attitude a...

<t>One would hope they would have found a BP injury between the MRI's and the EMG's. <br/> <br/> Doctors can be vague about 'specificity' though. It is best to stay involved and learn as much as you can about what *is* wrong, even if it is something that does not have a specific 'syndrome name'.<br/...

i cried reading the results. at least i know im not alone.

<r>hrm.<br/> <br/> im angry my first PCP thought there was nothing wrong with me, that the pain made no sense since the mri's and x-rays were normal. told me i didnt need an EMG and the numbness in my fingers was from LEANING ON MY ELBOWS. he told me i only had 'muscle spasms' and i did not need to ...

<t>Ilsphid. East coast. Shy. And compared to a lot of the people here, I have a very mild BPI. <br/> <br/> (I think. The doctors never tell ya enough. I have full motion, just a lot of pain and some stinging and numbness from a "brachial plexus lesion involving the posterior and medial cords of the ...

<r>'What if she falls'?<br/> <br/> Even with two good arms you'll still hit the ground just as hard. Believe me I fell off enough and I was a rough and tumble (and uninjured) kid back then. <E>:)</E> Western style riding only takes one hand and no fear. More important of the two, no fear <E>;)</E><b...
