Re: Carpel Tunnel Confirmed - EMG

[Guest guest]

,

I had that surgery on my right arm as well back in 2004 I think. I had a great dr. and he did the less invasive surgery where you hardly notice a scar. I was supposd to have the surgery done on both arms but Zack was only 2 at the time of the frst surgery and it was next to impossible to have a little one and my arm wrapped up for that length of time and not lifting.

Be really careful about following the drs. orders about not lifting afterward until he tells you that you can because you can mess up your wrist. I think I must have not paid attention(big surprise there, lol) and lifted too soon becuase I have pain still in my right wrist when I cut for a long time, like veggies or fruit or am constantly doing the smae motion with that hand.

I hope that the pain pill helped after your trip to Walgreens. I know that Carpal Tunnel is very painful and the test to find out if you have it will make it sore for a few days after as well. Let us know if the dr. suggests surgery. My guess is he will if it's confirmed. It's a quick in patient surgery so you won't be stuck at the hospital at least. That's a GOOD thing!!!

Peggy, You poor thing. You got the surgery but you still have pain (but like you said you didn't follow dr's orders (wink)). I probably will have a problem following the orders too. Yes, my wrists are very sore along with my hands and arms after that test. I didn't know it would hurt so much. Yes, the pain pill helped. It must be the kind of pain pill bcs what I normally take on a daily basis was not working so I had to get something else. What about your left wrists? Does it still bother you? You said you couldn't have them both done bcs of your son. Are you planning on getting that done on your left hand? Thanks for the info. It helps that there is someone who understands the type of pain I am in bcs my husband sure doesn't. Hugs, :)Peggy

Well ~ I am glad you know for sure now. Now you can at least get that pain taken care of. I know with the surgery, you'll feel a whole lot better. (In that area anyway) One step at a time. Do the pills that you take for the pain now, make you drowsy? I guess so, since you said you didn't take them because you had to drive. I hope you get some relief soon. Love and blessings...

Val, Yes, I am on a lot of pain meds. it's only taking the edge off. I just woke up in pain at 6 am. it's driving me crazy. So, I can't drive for at least 4 hours. I don't want to hurt myself let alone someone else. I would never forgive myself. I am going to my older sisters house to see her and my great neice that is about 6 months old. We are also going to see my favorite aunt bcs she has cancer and a bad one at that. She weighs less than 85 lbs now. Anyway, my pcp will get the full report tomorrow and then we will have a plan. I hope it's surgery and not physical therapy. The pain is just way too much to handle. Anyhoo......how are you doing girl? Luv ya and hugs, :)Val Lee wrote: Well ~ I am glad you know for sure now.

I was told that carpel tunnel was a direct cause from a disease, like arthritis, diabetes, thyroid problems and I am sure many other things. So it could be related to your MS. I would go to the doctor. I thought mine was just arthritis and my hands cramped up so bad all the time. I can type but I can't write. But in the past two months, the pain got really bad and started waking me up at night and my hands started swelling and shooting up to my armpit so I knew I needed to see a doctor bcs this was not the same as the cramping. I was dropping everyting too. Don't suffer from it. It will just get worse. After the test I am in more pain than I was before and I just can't take it anymore. I have so much medication that I am taking and it's working a little but I am still in so much pain I can't stand it. I didn't realize how painful this could be. Take care of yourself.

~ How long are you going to be with your sister and great niece? I am so sorry to hear about your aunt. She's so tiny, poor thing. I'm glad you're going to go visit her. I know she'll be happy to see you. I really don't see how physical therapy can help carpal tunnel. Seems to me that surgery would be the only option, unless it wasn't too severe. In any case, at least you know what it is, and it can be treated. I'm praying for a full recovery. I'm doing alright. I've started taking my vitamins and minerals on a regular basis now. Mostly for the pain that I've been in, also for my bones. Been taking fish oil as well. Whew! I'm not so sure I'm liking the fish oil. Tom doesn't seem to notice, but I sure

can smell it coming through my pores now. I'm highly sensitive to odors. By that, I mean any scent that is offensive to my nose. But, I've been told that I need to take it. I have high cholesterol and it's supposed to be good for that. You know, I hear garlic is good for high cholesterol also. I like that smell a lot better. LOL Maybe I'll switch? Love ya bunches...

Val, Well, bcs of the extreme pain I decided to cancel today with my sister. I am so upset that I had to cancel with her bcs it's been a while since I have seen her and I haven't seen my great neice yet. I have pictures (am putting them on multiply today) and she is beautiful. I am also upset that I can't see my aunt today. I hope that she is going to be alright. As I said before, they are my favorite aunt and uncle. We love them so much. I am going to call my doctor (if he doesn't call me) tomorrow. I am in need of something stronger than what he gave me. I can't stand it anymore. I am literally going crazy bcs of the pain. I don't know what else to do. I know that I will do the surgery and I am going to demand it. I know my doctor will agree if I ask him about it. He knows how much pain I am in. I am glad you are

doing well. I know Tom hasn't been himself and you have been under so much stress. That surely is not good for anyone's body let alone someone with MS. I hope things get better for you soon. Don't get so upset about your son (it's his age and maybe someone's influence). He will come around. He knows you love him very much. I know, it's one thing to say it but when you are feeling it, it's another thing. Take care of yourself and try not to over do it like you did with the 3 mile walk LOL.

I used to get really bad numbness in hands while sleeping doctor thought

carpel tunnel but never tested. When it was at it worst , I was tested for

B 12 defeciency which I had because of a particular prescription med for

acid stomach and gerd. The med blocked the absorption of B 12 in the

intestines. I got shots for years after that and the problem went away for

a while.

Then started up again when I was having trouble with the bartters kidney

disease. Low mag and pot levels can also cause numbness and tingling.

Debbie, Yes this emg is directly related to the dx of carpel tunnel. It's not from typing or repetitive motions of any kind. It' from arithritis, diabetes, MS I am sure and other dieseases. They asked me if I had any of these things before the test and told me that bcs I was right handed it seems wors in that hand. Again, I am having so much pain and the result are going to be in today (although I know it's CT bcs I have the classic symptoms....even the doctor that did the emg said so and aske if it was worse it the right hand). I will call if the doctor doesn't call but he always does after 2 pm when he reviews results and also reviews refills or new scripts that people need). I think I am going to ask for the fentinol patch bcs nothing is working good. I think he will give it to me bcs that's who he is. He is a great doctor. Tell your doctor the

symptoms and he will make an appt. for the test and you will get a difinittive dd and get the right procedure....even surgery if necessary. It will be worth it for sure. Goof luck and hope you get wht you need to stop th painl It sucks big time sp I hope they can help you in some wa.

Re: Carpel Tunnel Confirmed - EMG

Val,

Yes, I am on a lot of pain meds. it's only taking the edge off. I just woke up in pain at 6 am. it's driving me crazy. So, I can't drive for at least 4 hours. I don't want to hurt myself let alone someone else. I would never forgive myself. I am going to my older sisters house to see her and my great neice that is about 6 months old. We are also going to see my favorite aunt bcs she has cancer and a bad one at that. She weighs less than 85 lbs now. Anyway, my pcp will get the full report tomorrow and then we will have a plan. I hope it's surgery and not physical therapy. The pain is just way too much to handle. Anyhoo...... how are you doing girl?

Luv ya and hugs,

Well ~

I am glad you know for sure now. Now you can at least get that pain taken care of. I know with the surgery, you'll feel a whole lot better. (In that area anyway) One step at a time. Do the pills that you take for the pain now, make you drowsy? I guess so, since you said you didn't take them because you had to drive.

I hope you get some relief soon.

Love and blessings...

Val

I went to my appt to get an emg and the doctor basically told me that I have it bcs I have the classic symptoms of CT. He asked me if my right hand and arm were worse during the test and I said yes. I had to go to the grocery store and walgreens for my husband afterwards and I couldn't wait to come home and take a pain pill bcs I couldn't take one this morning bcs I had to drive. The pain is so bad. I will go for the surgery with no question if that's what my doctor suggests when he gets the report by Friday.Hugs, :)Euphemisms are unpleasant truths wearing diplomatic cologne. ~Quentin Crisp~
