Hey all, I will be at the Mayo in MN July 7th for an EMG and then we are deciding on surgery or not for July 8th. Sounds like if I have the surgery it will be outpatient.

My boyfriend Brett is taking me to my appointments and possibly to surgery.
If anyone is going to be at the Mayo either day, let me know!

These appointments are for my "good" arm. All the overuse has gotten to me at the young age of 21. I am really hoping to skip the surgery so wish me luck that my EMG is clear and I dont need surgery!

Good luck, Amy.

I wish you the best of luck. Keep us posted and I'll keep my fingers crossed and say some prayers that you don't need surgery. Hugs Mare

I'm praying that there will be no surgery on your "unaffected arm". You are at the right age for all of these problems... darn it! It's just the way things are... Let's hope it's a matter of some sort of PT.

Loads of Luck Amy, You're so lucky to have Brett there by your side.

I truly am the luckiest lady there is. When he takes me to my appointments we will only have been together just over 4 months. Hes so amazing though. Says I am beautiful in my splints. Makes me feel better when I have to sleep in them.

I think my OT is helping, my arm does not hurt as bad this week. I am so hoping that by the 7th its fine again and no pain or numbness is present. Thanks for the prayers!
We have done splinting, iontophoresis, ultrasound, massage and I wear a pressure sleeve on my arm. And I am resting it as much as possible really trying hard to skip surgery.

Hugs,
Amy (the luckiest girl ever!)

Amy,
I'l keep you at the top of my Prayer List that you wil NOT need surgery. Hang on to that Guy Brett!!!!!

HUGS,
