Title: comfortably numb Post by: birdymaker on January 03, 2008, 05:37:26 AM well, maybe not so much. ever since :airquotes: the accident :airquotes: half of my right hand has been numb. it has gotten a little better over the last 14 weeks. it is now down to everything in line with the pinkie is numb. but lately has been making a transition to pain and soreness in the last 2 fingers and the side of my hand.
we have tried mega doses of anti inflammatory meds and steroid injections to no avail. so next thursday is the day :ninja: i'm goin under the knife again. :o due to insurance concerns and company absence policies, i have to have this taken care of before i return to work. so i'm looking at another 3 weeks on the shelf and i'll be ready to rock.

The symptoms would suggest a herniated cervical disk, with nerve impingement. Most likely (with those 2 fingers) at the c6-7, or c7-t1 level. (http://www.aafp.org/afp/20010815/631fig5.jpg) Have you had that checked? Title: Re: comfortably numb Post by: Spanky on January 03, 2008, 06:08:02 AM Oooo, look at stroh go being all doctor like.
I would have to agree with him as my wife has the same issue on her left side. Title: Re: comfortably numb Post by: birdymaker on January 03, 2008, 06:11:39 AM had an EMG last week that pinpointed the pinch in my elbow. :)

[sm_shock] that is the great unknown at the present time. not so much from the elbow, but the fact of having a broken wrist and broken ankle. the doc says my wrist and ankle with be sore for several more months. so we will have to see how that works out. it brings a whole new meaning to a stinger from layin the sod over.
