how strange that this should come up. I just had nerve conduction study done on right leg. The docs trying to find out which nerve in my back is in trouble. Anyway, my right leg is so mangled from car accident that they couldn't find the nerve. They kept zapping and zapping. This was followed by the needles inserted into muscles to see how nerves affected them. He said I had nerve damage on L4 and L5. I believe that was already known from cat scan, so not sure how this study helped.
This was followed the next day with an injection between l4 and l5. Doc must have hit nerve and I could feel it firing all down my leg!. There has got to be an easier way. After this series of shots are done (just want to follow thru on them) I am going to see an acupuncturist. Has anyone had any luck with them for pain?
