Nerve conductivity test

traluvie

Hi all,

I know i haven't been around much, but i have been thinking about how some of you are, and i have been sending them positive vibes through cyber space lol..

I know there are a few on here that have nerve problems and a few of you may remember i am experiencing problems with my nerves too which is currently being controlled with gabapentin and amitriptyline. I am still under investigation and am due to have a nerve conductivity test on thursday.

I was just wondering if anybody has experienced this and if the results are talked through with you then or are they sent to your consultant..?

Here's a hug for you all (((((((((((ac))))))))))

Can't help you with the test but would be interested to know as hopefully they will do the same for me as I have 2 dead feet, half a dead hand and down there too :oops:

Be good to know if they can fix this.

Good luck with it, sending you lots of vibes and an extra spoon.

Hi hun, good to see ya online..

I had one done on mi wrists a while back for the carpal tunnel, is that what you mean?
Mine was absolutely fine, nothing to worry about, just some clips on fingers etc and a mild current run through...
I don't know if it is your hands etc, BUT i did have my legs done many years ago, that was a tad different, long needles inserted into the calves BUT again, hardly any discomfort hun so I am sure that you will be alright, plus we'll all be there to make sure they don't hurt ya

Hi Tracy,

Long time no see and good to see you again

I have had the wrists and the feet done.... they used stick n thingumies and then they put a shock through and it times how long it takes for the nerves to respond... the quicker the better.

I didn't get the results the same day... took weeks actually but you gp will have the report fairly quickly I think?

We have time delay problems this end.....It might be different where you are.

Th shock they use is no worse than my electric fence flower and its not painful jut a quick 15 min test.....

Will be in yoru pocket and we do bring out on hay... and a hoover...

You ill never know we have been there.....

Hang in there flower and hope you will be able to take the gabs again soon. ((((( ))))) and a cuppa. Cris xx

traluvie

Thanks Cris,

Am set and rearing to go now..

That cuppa sounds nice and i have the gabapentin ready to take as soon as i am out the hospital lol..

Hope your as ok as ok can be cris take care..xx

traluvie

After getting lost on the way to the hospital and arriving 20 mins late i thought it was going to be one of them days..
The test itself was fine, made me jerk a few times but not painful..
How did it go??? well not too sure, she did some extra tests on my left leg(the one that feels liek a dead weight) and said they would analyse it then send the results..

So now its a waiting game, not stressing just grateful i can take my gabapentin again to try and calm down these cramps and dead weights lol..x
