I'm actually a little baffled now. If I look at Cherie's list of warning signs, I don't really fit.

My first signs had nothing to do with my fingers - they are only recently affected. The first signs were in my shoulder / bicep. It's like it is travelling down my arm.

I'm not sure if that would be more like TOS or not. I must admit that I don't entirely understand that syndrome. Would signs of that show up in the NCV?

I do not have a lot of pain. It is just painful with the tightening / spasms in my bicep. I have no pain in my hand / fingers. This is also not worse at night. It is only worse when I am using the arm too much.

In one of the posts on the other thread, something was said about waking at night and that is what the doc and the tech doing the NCV both asked about. This doesn't wake me up at night.

I must admit that I don't understand entirely what is going on. I do wonder if some of it has to do with spasticity. Could spasticity cause the nerves to compress temporarily?? One thing is that I feel like this is one of those things that they may never completely figure out with me.
