Just finished my EMG/NCV and the neurologist tells me that everything is normal. That, along with the following labs are all normal:
serum immunoelectrophoresis ANA ESR fasting blood sugar heavy metals serum B12 (612) CRP Lyme (though I know there are some issues with the standard testing) I am waiting for the results of a lumbar MRI. I'm a little confused... if a nerve was pinched, wouldn't it show up during the nerve studies? The doctor was in a rush as it was just a test, not a normal appointment, he basically said that at the follow-up (end of this month) we can see how things are going and see if any further testing is warranted. At this point he's not too concerned. I feel.... odd.... because basically I'm being told not to worry, there's nothing "wrong" with my nerves, yet I still have numbness in my feet! I even had absent achilles heel tendon reflexes at my initial appt. What other questions do I need to be asking this (or another) doctor? Any ideas where I go from here? I think that the physical therapy might be helping, but I'm not sure. Any insight would be appreciated! |
