| Re: my results from emg and mri
I had a fusion at C5/6 at the end of Apr. I had not really had *neck* pain previous but have had numb fingers and a burning sensation in my left arm for more than 18 months now. After an ulnar nerve release made no change in those situations (actually the burning started after that surgery), they did the MRI and found the disc degeneration.
After the fusion, the burning moved further up my arm and I now have tingling from about mid way between arm pit and elbow all the way down to the palm (underside). Top that off with the burning spots at the back of my shoulder blade and the piercing pains that go in through the arm pit .
Two surgeries later I cant say I made any improvement. I suppose I prevented further damage but the pain level has increased significantly.
I had a Nerve conduciton test last week...not an EMG, just the electrode one. It shows normal. Doesnt surpise me, it showed normal when my fingers were contracted too and they found major nerve problems when they did surgery.
I'm not sure what causes it all for me, but I hope you have more luck finding answers than I have
