Southampton Neuro Physiological appointment update.
The nerve
tests were fine, just a little buzz and some interesting limb / thumb jumping
which were for the most part quite amusing and interesting. The lets just poke
a needle into some choice muscles in your arms then make you move them was
‘unpleasant’ to say the least, and bloody horrid if I’m being completely
honest.
The
gentleman who did them was lovely and answered all my silly questions and tolerated
my whittering on so he gets my thanks for being kind and as gentle as he could
be considering he was the one electrocuting and stabbing me.
The good
news – apparently I don’t have carpal tunnel syndrome (I didn’t even know what
that meant so here’s Dr Google’s version)
carpal tunnel syndrome
noun: carpal tunnel
syndrome; noun: CTS
1. a painful condition of the hand and fingers
caused by compression of a major nerve where it passes over the carpal bones
through a passage at the front of the wrist. It may be caused by continual
repetitive movements or by fluid retention.
I suspect
had this been tested a month ago or so the case might have been somewhat
different but thanks to the lovely Lizzie my Physio it’s all mended now Just
whatever’s misfiring the nerves in my left hand and fingers is something sinister
rather than simple and a report is going back to Dr C.
A little
more sit back, wait on the results and see what they have to say.
