Hey, I've had OA for years, only once in that time did have this kind of pain, they gave my knee a injection, and away I went, haven't had troubles since.
they're sending me to get an EMG.
EEK.
I do believe I've had this test before, way back in 1992, when I'd had a car accident, along with work stress that caused me to have carpal tunnel along with ulnar problems.
carpal tunnel was hard to diagnoise, due to the ulnar making the whole warm numb.
other than the dropping of things, there was no symptom of carpel tunnel. NO waking in the middle of the night etc.
this emg, was done to elimiate some things.
talk about OUCH!
sticking needles along the nerve pathway from the hand to the back of the neck. Then they turned on the electricity
then another one where they put the sticky things on arms all over up to the back of the neck, then turned on the electricity again.
awwwwwwwooooo!
oh bother,
