And he asked what the problem was, I told him, he tested the upper limbs,reflexes with the hammer, etc. Asked if I had had this test done before. I said, well, Dr. Warach had done something like this, several weeks back. He asked what he had said, I told him that Warach had said that everything was okay. Although I couldn't see how that could be because I was having all these problems. Without anymore questions he set to retesting everything. Right down to my fingers. Ulna, medial, radial, Long Thoracic, the whole shebang. Then came the needle, where they stick you with it and listen to the muscles when you move it. OUCH!!!!! The lower back one under the shoulderblade hardly hurt at all, but the one right at the shoulder blade, close to the spine, was the worst. He went up the neck on both tests, which was probably the LTN, and/or testing the upper brachial area? Anyway, had to take a painkiller because I was already in a pained condition and the needle in the back just clinched it. I am glad it's over.

Hey,
Did the doctor tell you if they found anything from the test? Hope it's something positive.

I asked him if there was anything he could tell me and he replied that he would have to put all the test material together as in reading all the results and he would send the info to the other doctors. So no, he didn't tell me a darn thing. Which is really irritating, because I am going to have to rely on the other neurologist to interpret his tests. Although I will ask for a copy to be sent to my therapist so he will know what we're dealing with. This neuro doctor at his own EMG had said I was suffering from Myofascial Pain Syndrome which the PT rolled his eyes at and nearly laughed about it. Like yeah, I have pain, but hey, where is it coming from and why you know? I do know that I have some back muscles that aren't functioning. The ones right under the shoulder blade and the main muscle that lies along the spine at mid back. Which might be the reason I can't do one of the pelvic exercises the PT gave me a few weeks ago very well.
