Guest guest Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 I went to the neuro today about the numbness in my right hand. My hand just droops down at the wrist and I can'thold it up. Also the numbness has spread up my arm. He seems to think it is a pinched nerve from my shoulder down to my hand. He wants to wait two weeks and do an EMG. In the meantime I'm not supposed to use it. Yeah right , I'm a righty. Debbie Talk is cheap. Use Yahoo! Messenger to make PC-to-Phone calls. Great rates starting at 1¢/min. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Debbie, did he give a reason for waiting two weeks? I guess he's hoping the nerve will "unpinch" itself? Uuuuuuuuufffffffffff!!!

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Debbie, Do you have a good chiropractor? It would be worth getting in and getting an adjustment, or several adjustments and seeing if this helps the problem. I do hope it's a pinched nerve--and easily resolvable. Have you tried to ice your shoulder, neck area to see if getting some inflammation down in that shoulder helps. Might be worth a bag of frozen peas or two. Take care of you, Tracie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
