I went to a Neurologist today for a Nerve Conduction Test/EMG because of problems with my left hand and my 'normal' Dr wasn't 100% sure what the cause was. The tests were conclusive and the diagnosis was Moderate to Severe Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The Neurologist recommended surgical intervention as he considered that it was too far advanced to try other treatment options. Even though this is a bit of a nuisance at least I now I know the cause of my problems.
The test was interesting, mostly just being uncomfortable with a couple of incidences of pain. Feeling the electric impulses causing my fingers to jump was very strange and revealed the problems. The painful bit, only about the same as a dental injection, was when 'pins' were put into the muscles of the arm and then the electrical activity monitored to check their operation - this result was normal.
For those interested this is similar to what was done. Of course this video is from the U.S.and my tests were simply done in the Neurologists office and no gowns were involved.
