Nerve Conduction Studies
Posted , 8 users are following.
just got back from Nerve Conduction Studies, if you go for them and they tell you the needle into the muscle doesn't hurt THEY LIE!! If you are old enough to remember the size of old syringes that's what they shove into your arm at least ten different places then they send an electric current through the blooming needle, OUCH. The first tests aren't too bad and I thought that they were only going to do those ones, it's like a very strong TENS so not exactly pleasant but bearable. At the end of it all I've got three trapped nerves one right elbow, one right wrist and one left wrist so that's a few pains I can hopefully get rid of with injections.

I had this done too and for the most part it just tingled... but I agree with you, as one really long fine needle was pushed into the inside of my left calf muscle, low down, I winced and told the man it hurt... I started to implore with him to take it out and was crying. I still have, to this day a very faint looking bruised looking patch where it went in and it twitches like mad when my FM is bad.
I don't know if he actually performed this correctly or not but my test results only showed mild median nerve lesion in my wrists, from Carpel Tunnel Syndrome, I was told.
Don't ever want to do that again, nice to know I'm not the only one who found it painful. I thought I was being a baby, maybe.
Take care, Shelagh
Love Angie
