Tests Can Be Painful

A pain I have been enduring since November
Numbness, tingling, throbbing and swelling
Neck, shoulder, arm and hand
Normal procedure doctors and tests

X-ray, MRI and Electromyogram
My final test today
The electromyogram (nerve conduction test)
Pads placed zapped with electrical shock

Test inclusive so a second part is given
Needles into the muscle zapped with electrical shock
Believe me it hurts the first four ok after that its worse
Forty minutes later test is over and I have pain

Doctor calls to check on me while at work
Said to take it easy just rest
Evening comes pain and throbbing with some swelling, arm looks like a pin cushion
Rough night sleeping, tossing and turning

Morning, throbbing and swelling in hand and fingers
Back to the doctor to see what is wrong
Measures both hands right hand is 3/4" larger than left from the swelling
Checking for bleeding may have gone through a vein or artery,

He did say theres tenderness in the tendons
Ice rubbing will help not sure why all the pain and swelling, this shouldn't happen from the test
So now I have added discomfort
Will see the doctor Friday for all the results

Well Nancy I went through the same testing last week myself,,only they believe mine is severe CTS. Which can be fixed but,,means I won't be writing for a while. I hope you get better soon,,and yes them EMG's are painful,,might as well stick your finger in a light socket and see if anything lights up. My prayers will be with you,,,Lisa

Aaww, Nancy, sounds horrible!! I had some of the same and some other strange pains after the birth of my second daughter, 'bout 7 years ago, went to neurologist, orthopedist and immuno guy, they could never figure it out, said it was soft tissue pain of unknown origin, or something or other facitis, I had a headache for 30 days!! Then I saw a program talking about the new products coming out and how they can throw off a person's metabolism and cause problems. Since I had a baby a few months old, I had been using an antibacterial soap at the bathroom and kitchen sink, so I stopped using them. And that was that! I felt better quickly and never had any return symptoms. A couple years later, a good friend of mine in Colorado was telling me her medical woes, similar to mine, and I asked her if she was using anitbacterial products, she was, and stopped. Same thing, she felt better and hasn't had a recurrence of symptoms. I really hope you are using antib. products because it could be that you are sensitised to this and the cessation of use may help!!!! If not, I'm sorry for this crazy crap your are going through...

I've had the nerve test you are talking about, in the back of my legs, hated it!!!
