@mrmacabre Thank you! Yeah, ironically the EMG I had done last October showed nerve damage/issues, but the one in February showed only mild carpal tunnel 🙁 It is a neurosurgeon who has twice now told me my MRI shows the discs aren't bad enough to have nerve compression, but since all else has failed or been basically ruled out, she will do surgery. It doesn't sit well with me, but I also feel like having an MRI laying down may not show the same as seeing it upright, since laying down feels better. I also feel like the vascular surgeon really breezed through my appointment and I'm not convinced that thoracic outlet syndrome couldn't still fit more of my symptoms (especially now being bilateral?). Anyway, thank you!
