Well... I had another appointment today with a neurologist referred to me by my neurosurgeon. The goal was to have another opinion on whether I have Pasonage Turner. So... he did a reflex test on my arms which had unexpected results. My bad side had MORE reflex than my good side. He said that if I had nerve damage we would expect LESS reaction not MORE. He then stated matter of factly that this was a sign of a central nervous system or a brain problem. So now I'm scheduled for a brain MRI to rule out that possibility. I will have another nerve conduction study this Friday also(oh joy). The one I had back in May was apparently too soon after the onset of pain to be a reliable result. I'd be very curious to know if others with PTS have had reflex tests and what the results were? I'm trying not to worry about a potential brain tumor - but that's hard to take your mind off of!! The next step after this would be a MRI of my shoulder looking for inflammation that could explain the pressure on the Median nerve. ALSO... he stated that the spinal injection I had in July may have done some good since the steroid may have affected nerves in the brachial nerve complex. So... I'm scheduled for another spinal injection in 2 weeks - I had been debating about whether to go through with it, and based on what the neurologist said today I will do it!
