Hello, everyone...I apologize again for not being on here for the past couple of days. I returned to the University today and have had several doctors' visits over the past couple of weeks. I had a Nerve Conduction Study on Tuesday and the therapist said that he couldn't diagnose me (he said he would get the results to my doctor right away and let her diagnose me and tell me what treatment is to follow) but said that I have nerve damage in both of my wrists and hanRAB, more so in the right wrist and hand because I am right handed. I am also in severe pain today because I was in school most of the day and because the weather has been humid and rainy. My neck pain has moved severely into both of my shoulders, as well. I do feel that the DDD is spreading. I still have not felt any relief from the injections that I received last Wednesday. I am still keeping an open mind, though. How is everyone doing? I have really missed all of you, lately!
 
Thank you so much for the information, dee...Do you think that the nerve compression in my wrists and hanRAB is due to my "newfound" neck problems? I have only had two x-rays on my neck, which showed severe muscle spasms. I had injections on my lower lurabar spine last Wednesday and am hoping for some type of relief from the problems that my neck is causing, soon. Thanks, again.
 
From my experience I would say yes. I had pain in my shoulder blades and shooting down my arms and I was dropping stuff all the time. It was like I'd be holding a glass and it would just fall out of my hand. When it got bad it got bad fast.One problem was no one bothered to mri my neck but the did lurabar region which was also bad and for over a year they thought everything was happening because of lurabar spine. Finally my neck started to hurt and Neurologist decided to mri my neck and, like I said in the last post it was a mess. Within 3 weeks of that mri I was scheduled for surgery. I guess having no spinal fluid is a pretty big deal. Oh, and I had a lot of bad migraines during this time. If your insurance covers it, I'd get an mri to see what is going on. Good Luck, I hope you find your answer soon, Dee
 
Thanks again, dee...I am going to talk to my doctor about a MRI of my neck. I hope that I can figure out some answers soon!
