Radial Nerve Palsy
Last week I woke up with a "wrist drop" and a hand and fingers that could not function. I assumed I had experienced a stroke. I went to the ER and they thought it was quite possible. My MRI was fine, so they referred me to a Neurologist. He's perhaps the first doctor I have seen throughout the last few years that really examined me. He was surprised with the severity of my PN that my own doctor has never done ant testing. We are first doing a lot of blood tests to see if he can determine the cause of my PN and then move on to other testing. Has anyone here had Radial Nerve Palsy and what were your results with time and therapy? I'm being told if we can get it to come back to fully functional, it may take up to six months. It is rather annoying, but I'm thankful it was not a stroke and that it is my left hand rather than my right/dominant hand.
