No other symptoms, Kitt, and no neurological disorders or anything similar in the family. I will do an EMG next week.

OA and RA -- osteo arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis



Do you notice if you have forward head posture, or forward/hunched/rolled shoulders? Viewed from the side in a mirror? or ask a friend..

Those postures can close/pinch/impinge the area where many nerves and blood flow to the arms and hands..
Also does your armpit feel tight or puffy?
Neck muscles tight or burning, same for upper back?

Osteo-arthritis -most probably not, as the X-rays were good. Rheumatoid - what is the way to find out? I have that on my list of things to ask the neuro next week.

Iactually have a visible ball (not sure how to describe it) on my upper back muscle; my physio told me I shouldn't worry and should swim more to get it go away. I think it got better in the summer. Sure I will want to have an MRI on that area though, even if it is "just" a muscle.

I surely do have hunched shoulders.

Neck muscles tight, yes, and only get better with lots of swimming.

I think I will have to do that MRI.

Regarding symptoms, I forgot about fasciculations. I had a lot of them 7 years ago on my left hand and forearm, now less but they do happen. I have them on my left hand also, on the hand and forearm with a pinching sensation. I've noticed them today also on my right upper arm, and I dont like it, because it makes me think the disease- whatever it is - is progressing not just to my left side, but alo upwards.. (

Can you recommend a specific DVD?

Scott Cole and Dr Paul Lam are both great instructors but before you buy something you might not use, check out Tai Chi on YouTube. It's slow and meditative but if you can get into it and do the movements, it can help with balance and coordination.

Default Is it neuropathy at all?
Can any neuropathy dramatically waste your hands?

enter "wasting hand muscles" into Google.

Here is one example:

Yes, CMT can and it is inherited.
