Maybe not neuropathy causing hand and arm weakness and numbness

Posted by joanland @joanland, Sep 16, 2025

An upper extremity EMG today revealed that the loss of strength and flexibility in hands and lower arms plus loss of some feeling in hands may not be due to PN. Suspected is a possible compression of a cervical nerve. MRI to follow. This has been a surprise; with definite PN in feet and lower legs, I attributed the change in sensations in my upper extremities to PN as well. Tests today showed that may not be the cause.

@johnbishop Thank you, John. I shouldn't have included phone #. Glad you caught that and removed it.

It’s difficult to pinpoint causation with this apparently. I’m searching for mine. My EMG was negative. I want a spine MRI. Who ordered yours?

Hi Celia16- I misspoke. CIDP is chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy.
