I'm really thankful to get more information to help with my treatment but I am super scared about how much it will hurt and the flares that might follow. Thanks for the advice and support  |
Hugs...I know how you feel...I was so nervous for my exam....for me both the stress of the nerve conduction test and the test did cause a flare...It doesn't 'hurt' per say, it's more of the jolt and the jump than pain....my results were that my nerves are actually 'good'....and that's how I was diagnosed with CRPS, again....
What they did was start the conductor on low and upped it....one can respond like when they hit your knee with that rubbery thingy and your movement is involuntary.....it doesn't feel all that good...
Keep us posted on how you do.....
