Hi! I am hoping by posting in a general area that maybe someone will recognize my symptoms or have some advice. I am on my second workup for wrist pain. Last year was told it was neck / posture issues.
Pain has not gotten any better. It has spread from my wrist to top of hand, forarm, even a burning pain on the outside of my forearm. It's like my arm is sunburned it is so sensitive to the touch. I had an EMG which was normal. I had a c-spine mri yesterday and awaiting the results. I expect it to be normal as I do not really have any acute neck pain. I do have issues with what I was told was positional vertigo. It comes and goes with no rhyme or reason. I also have what I think are muscle spasms in my right shoulder blade area that radiate up my neck into my jaw and settles there. Lasts only a few minutes and will leave my back shoulder blade sore, so I think that is muscular.
One of the most important things is that I have lost so much strength in my dominate right hand it is only 15lbs now. I seem to have lost some coordination with my right hand too. Mainly when I am doing quick things, almost those things we do on autopilot. If I am focused I do better, but those things that I used to do without thinking about it I have issues with.
I do think it is important to say that I work with microscopes every day and do a lot of fine instrument work. I have issues with trembling in my right hand sometimes too, but not all the time. Mainly when I have been working a while. I do have the tingling and numbness, but again it's intermittent.
Any ideas would be appreciated. I see my hand doc again monday to get the MRI results, but I really believe it will be normal. I looked at my disc they gave me and nothing stands out. Spinal cord looks clear of any compression and discs look consistent, so if there is something I think it will be minor.
Thanks. Labgeek.
