| My own was arm hand and finger sensitivity issues, numbness in varied positions, unable to maintain grip on tools and so on. Have the repair scars to prove it is nerve issues that can be at times 'Fixed'. |

Neurologist said my testing looked pretty normal Orthopedic Dr will also look at the results. Hoping to find out what's causing my lower arm pain. Old age, I guess. Thanks |

| My own 'Road Maps' indicated blockages in neural pathways where had Carpal and Cubital surgeries, my own Neck Implants were due to Degenerative Disc Disease along with using my head/neck as a third arm to support myself working under machines. Lower spine is a Massive Mess but alas Spinal Stenosis and Osteo Arthritis have taken that over where is just a constant growing nag. |

| Had that done at age 15. Started at the base of my skull on the right side and went all the way down to my pinky finger. Not gonna lie, my 15 year old self was blubbering in tears by the time they were done. I started out handling it, once I lost control it just cascaded on me. Friggin’ ouch I tell ya. EMG I think maybe it was called? |

| EMG sounds about right. None too pleasant. Seemed to start at lower voltage and then crank it up until the muscle jumped? |

Has it done about 8 years back and didn't find it that bad , kind of mapping body of why a neck pain and numb hand were related . So just had release surgery on left wrist , was asking hand specialist was pain in neck or pain in hand and numb fingers related . He came back with " Well the mapping for a few years back shows "- so evidently the results are recorded for future ------------- Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do?

| Yeah probably though it was a long time ago. I don’t know how many points they tested between my head and my pinky but it was too many I know that! By the time they were in my shoulder I was OVER it! |

My aunt Doris had an at home Tens(?) unit. Shes my dad's sister and their whole family had/has RA. She talked Dad into trying it. She put the electrodes on him and turned it on still set where she used it. He jumped about 3 times with several expletives and jerked the electrodes off. She claims she "forgot" to turn it down to start with but found it quite hilarious. He never tried it again. ------------- "Farming is a business that makes a Las Vegas craps table look like a regular paycheck" Ronald Reagan |

| Neurologist told me that I did great. She may tell everyone that, but I do wonder if some patients can't tolerate it? I don't plan on going back. Thanks |

I guess I must tolerate the shock to well. I have nerve damage in the right arm, no feeling in the little finger. Locals sent me to Stanford where a specialist played with his mini stock prod. Since I did not react enough he asked to test on arm and leg as well. Cannot call if fun, but not super painful ether. He then wanted play cutting my arm open from neck on down. Going down the nerve until the damage was found. I said thanks but no thanks. He got very upset that I was not interested in being a part of his student learning experience.
