Thread: Not so good news from the Doctor.

Yeah, I had one of those nerve conductivity tests and they suck. After about the 6th or 7th shock you're ready to beat the crap out of the person zapping you. Hopefully they get it solved for you. Just a bit of info, Mike; I was having a lot of elbow pain and numbness in my hand a few years ago and had two doctors tell me I needed surgery. I ended up having a chiropractor look at it and within 3 weeks she had me pain and numbness free. Not saying that's your issue but it could be worth looking at. I always thought of chiropractic medicine as voodoo science but it made a believer out of me.

I had exactly the same symptoms, and I too went (eventually,) to a chiropractor for exactly the same results.
The pain was such that I couldn't turn the page of a book with my right hand.
The numbness was such that I couldn't pick anything up in my right hand; I couldn't feel what it was I was trying to pick up.
Within three or four months I was swinging a hammer, can pick up a pin, and have had no further problems.

I have to thank "Doctor Don", a very colorful chiropractor in Tempe, Arizona, for relieving me of neck pain and numbness in my left arm and leg. He administered traction by laying me on my back, wrapping a towel around my neck and pulling on my head for several minutes at a time, 3 times a week. I had an injury at C3 due to an auto accident many years before and he was the only one in a string of doctors who made a difference in the way I felt. I used to walk out of his office pain free and feeling like I was 10 feet tall. I last saw him 6 or 7 years ago and still have no pain or numbness.
