Neurologist exam yesterday involved a tuning fork being placed on my ankle. I could feel the vibration for 9-10sec but forgot to ask what it all means? hope some one here can enlighten me.
I have alcoholic PN but he thinks I may be getting diabetes so back to the lab Monday for the fasting blood test |

--is to measure the sensory nerves that subsume the sensation of mechanical vibration, which are myelinated nerves that split off from major nerve trunks.
While the ability to feel the vibration of a tuning fork for long periods normally decreases with age, being able to feel it vibrate against you, and noticing the reduction in the vibration as the seconds pass, it usually a good sign. |

Hello,
Laying in bed I can tap my chest and feel the effects thru the legs and feet, also if a knife is dropped in the kitchen 20 feet away it sends a strong vibration thru my body. |
