{July 12, 2013}   I do not have carpel tunnel!

Today, I had my appointment for a nerve test on my left arm.

The nerve test was to see if I have carpel tunnel and if I need surgery. This was not my most fun experience, it wasn’t horrible, but it wasn’t something if volunteer for. Dr. R was very nice, he walked me through everything he was doing.

If you haven’t experienced this, they put sensors on your arm, then send some signals (wish i could remember exactly what they were called) to different parts of the arm to see what gets triggered. After the sensor and the shocks to different areas, then comes the acupuncture needles. The cool thing about the needles is that they are connected to a machine and the electromagnetic whatevers (I am so pathetic!) register sounds on the monitor, louder as I make different movements.

Half way through the first part, I don’t have carpel tunnel, great! Then after the second part, I don’t have cubital tunnel, great!

Wahoo…I don’t have carpel tunnel or cubital tunnel, awesome! So what do I have?

I have a pain in the neck! What? The problems are stemming from my neck and pectorals! Huh? He pressed down on my neck and pecs and said it was tight and when I talk to the referring physician, it would probably be helped with physical therapy. Wow.

So, no carpel or cubital, I have a pain in the neck, ha ha. (See, GES, it wasn’t actually you, so I guess I have to take back all those things I said about my baby sister!)

It still comes from being on the computer all day. I’m happy to hear that I don’t have carpel tunnel, therefore no surgery to correct that issue.

Hopefully the road to recovery is simple for my arm, because it hurts! And I am starting to get the same sensations in my right arm, uh oh.
