moving my answer along with the original post:
Dr. Jordan does an ultrasound procedure during his scalene block and combines it with some type of EMG. He looks at Brachial plaexus, ulnar nerve and carpal tunnel for impingemnet and blood flow. He says he sees everything that can be seen in the MRI/MRA but the procedure is faster and much less expensive. Course less expensive to you doens't always mean less expensive overall since it also depends on what your insurance will cover as Jordan is out of network for all except medicare. I really like Dr Jordan, had two sets of botox with him, but I am looking at surgery right now bc botox doesn't seem to be the answer for me. Also, I am following up with a neurography (dr. fillers) bc I want to see the actual compression location before anyone cuts me open. Johanna
