Very informative video and educational for new patients.
What a great doctor. 🤭 kind of unheard of nowadays. Thank you. ♥️
Thank you for the kind words.
Thank you! I have post traumatic carpal tunnel symptoms and I go in in a few days to see what the extent is. I got bit by a dog on my wrist and I can’t feel most of my hand so this made me less nervous thank you
Thank you for the comment. Good luck on your recovery. We are happy we could help!
I am a 100% Permanently and Totally disabled combat Veteran who is need of a trauma specialist. I requested an appointment with Dr. Kevin Luttrell and he refused to speak with me. No reason given.
I am eventually going to have one of these tests done for what I believe is carpal tunnel in my left hand and I was worried because on a carpal tunnel release video everyone was saying how painful this test is. Doesn't look as though the patient here is experiencing any pain or overt discomfort so that gives me some hope that I won't. I have the classic numbness between my ring and middle fingers with some slight tingling going on at my finger tips, especially the middle finger and thumb. Pinky finger is unaffected and the half of my ring finger next to the pinky finger is fine, too, so that seems like cts to me.
I'm sorry to hear about the pain in your hand. We have a Carpal Tunnel Quiz on the Azalea Orthopedics Website: copy and paste the URL into your search browser. form.jotform.com/211366802622046
I recommend seeing an orthopedic hand surgeon. Carpal Tunnel surgery is a relatively short and easy procedure for a trained specialist. As for the "pain" associated with an EMG test, most people would describe it as uncomfortable and not painful. I hope this helps you!
I am having my fifth one coming In a few weeks to see if I need surgery for my carpal tunnel syndrome
Why is the provider is using ultrasound gel when the medium should be a conductive gel?
Awesome Doctors
Does and e m g/ nerve conduction study test for ulnar nerve entrapment.
Along with a Lumbar Puncture, this can help diagnose Guillain Barre Syndrome. If you end up with that diagnosis, you'll be going into the hospital! IMMEDIATELY!!!
Just had mine done today to diagnose an issue that was first diagnosed as costochondritis (now they believe it's something else since 8 months of PT did absolutely nothing for it). They found small nerve damage in my forearm. However, the test was quite excruciating for me. The first 10-15 shocks had my arms flailing uncontrollably and my body was reacting extremely negatively (e.g. sweating). Is this a sign of the doctor's inexperience or is this just the nature of the test?
I'd like to know because mast likely I'll be needing a wider EMG done in the future as per the results. Thus I'd like to know if I should get it done somewhere else.
Costochondritis is inflammation where the ribs connect to the sternum . EMG’s aren’t often performed for such a condition, possibly you are referring to epicondylitis or another condition . Regarding your response to the test. Patients' experiences may vary depending on who is doing the test , & patient’s tolerance of the test varies, but it is unusual for the electrical impulses to cause one’s arm to flail uncontrollably & the test is rarely described as excruciating. I’m sorry it was so uncomfortable for you .Possibly a high amount of stimulation was being applied, though if a person is anxious it can affect the tolerance of the test . It’s difficult to know of the physicians experience level. If you need another emg , it is your choice if you want to go to the same doctor or see what the experience would be like with another . Best of luck with your difficulty .
Can severe anxiety cause hands to shake and not grip properly and my arms feel weak like my bicep aches and feels weak as well when I move them plus my bicep seems to shake a bit when I flex my arm up and down .. I have been so tenced for the past six weeks tencing hands arms In tence but I started getting these symptoms about six weeks ago when I had a virus it seems to have come on me after this
Yes, anxiety is a possible cause of what you are describing. We encourage you seek treatment for your anxiety.
@@AzaleaOrthopedics I have had two mri bloods and other tests so I have just started my help today thank you for comment
How does it diagnosis ALS?
Feelings are for nerves.
If it doesnt take that long why have I had to wait 2 1/2 weeks for an appointment?
I have been waiting months..obviously because they are busy and you are not the only person in the world that needs it done!
