Tinel Signs
Posted: Fri Jun 02, 2006 10:15 pm
Although I have looked at this sight before, I am new to posting a message....I had a motorcycle accident on 08-07-05 that caused 5 broken ribs, a sublexed shoulder, a cracked scapula, and a bpi to my right arm. I am healed up except for my bpi. I have had numerous MRI's and two EMG's which concluded that I have no avulsions. I have strong movement in my shoulder and some elbow flexation. My question to everyone is about the 'feelings' I get when my arm is rubbed. The feeling radiates down to my hand. It seems to be getting stronger each week. I am told by my doctor this may or not be a positive sign of recovery. I have done some research and have concluded it is what they call 'Tinel Signs'. Anyone else have these feelings? Thanks for a response.
