just wondering if anyone has had these tests done at hospital for nerve problems, what did they find? they either use electric pads or needles to stick into you and use small amounts of electric to get a responce

Its uncomfortable, i had some done, they were a bit painful, then they done a foot to knee one, sure he plugged it straight into the mains socket

also did they use a pad or needle?

I've had nerve tests done but was asleep at the time so cant comment
Was to find and repair peripheral nerve/ muscle damage in my arm and shoulder.
The only tests I do rem afterwards were tapping along the arm to see if the nerve was regenerating (few mths later)

Does this help answer your Q?

what was the problem with your arm?

madsi

it stems from a motorbike accident,had the arm plated.then had car accident and broke same arm even though it was plated.i was having trouble with lack of feel and constant pins and needles so was sent to the hallamshire hospital in sheffield for the test.

yes and i hate them!!!!!!!

they were looking to find why i was toe walking - so did these studies 3 times in depth

they are not comfortable - but my condtition enhances the pain

they also checked the muscle nerve connection on me - now that one hurts as it scratches the muscle!

quite interested to know peoples experiences of this because i also broke my arm in a motorcycle accident and had it pinned and plated, had loadsa problems since then, pins and needles, hand going numb, went back earlier this year to have a piece of bone removed from my wrist that should of been removed previously but was left floating round!!!
Going back in anytime soon to have some bones in my hand/wrist reconstructed and some ligaments etc replaced!

my results came back showing nothing unusual so my specialist said i would just have to get used to the problams.so as mad as it sounds thats what i have done,but still get the odd pins and needles and 2 fingers hardly move somtimes.this cold weather fookin murders as well and i still have a lump under my forearm

I had a few accidents and a fair bout of hospital time.
However in relation to nerve problems I found that a lot of it was due to the way I rested my arms etc etc... I changed how I did things. I also had some tennis elbow and went to a physio who put this little electric pulser on the muscles to help them recover... I worked fantastic and I know of others who have had this done with equally fantastic results.
I know you might have more problems due to actual bone fragments etc but I suggest you at least consider these low tech approaches.
