Thank you so much for the advice I am currently trying to find other anesthesiologists to see what they say. I have not contacted my primary physician I am doing that tomorrow. I will keep everyone updated as I go through this process ..thank you. Take care
Hi Jake , I went toy Primary physician yesterday. She did a manual nerve test ex. Pin stick, rubbed with rubber gloves on and had me push and pull her hands.
The test showed that I have a problem with my radial nerve. She said it is aggravated and doesn't know if the anesthesia went in the vein wrong or if it just aggravated the nerve. So now I have to take gabapentin and do occupational therapy for 6 weeks and see her when done with that.
We are hoping the meds and therapy will calm the nerve down and be fine. If not, then I will get an EMG with my primary doctors group neurologist on my neck and back to be sure there isnt anything more going on and get an MRI on my arm. So fingers crossed the meds and therapy work.
Thanks for the good luck I need it. I will be posting updates on here if you're interested. Have a good week.
I talked to someone in anesthesia at the place I had this done and he said that anesthesia would not cause numbness and I said it wasn't the anesthesia it was the anesthesiologist the way they administered it I don't think it went up my arm right and then he changed his tune and he just said to let me know what happens after the EMG but I haven't called him back yet. And I haven't contacted my primary position yet either so thank you for the good advice. and thank you for responding and thanks for the good luck cuz I do need it LOL
