What’s a nerve test? A nerve conduction velocity test (NCV) is an electrical test that is used to determine the adequacy of the conduction of the nerve impulse as it courses down a nerve. This test is used to detect signs of nerve injury.
What’s a myogram? An electromyogram (EMG) is a test that is used to record the electrical activity of muscles. When muscles are active, they produce an electrical current. This current is usually proportional to the level of the muscle activity.
Now that we all know what they are, I’ll tell you how they feel. Painful! The nerve test wasn’t too bad only painful for a second or two while the electrical pulse is sent through me. The muscle test sucked ass. They stick a needle in your muscles. The first one wasn’t so bad cause it was on the back of my hand, kind of felt like a pin prick, then he goes on to say, this may hurt a little more since it’s your thumb muscle. Oh yes, just a tad more! It’s not like they just prick you, they leave the needle in you and then move it around, so they can listen to whatever they’re listening for.
In conclusion, the doctor says to me, “you have carpal tunnel”. Thank you Doctor.
So many pavilions, such long lines, crazy Chinese people… Took way too many photos so this is a very much edited down version of the Expo.
If anyone plans on going to the Expo, here are a few little tips. 1. Show up damn early, preferably with a mini folding chair that you can carry. Take a break during the middle of the day and come back at night to see the lights 2. Take the first day to walk about the entire Expo only, then the next day to plan out which pavilions you want to actually go see. 3. Make sure to learn how to push and shove on line, try practicing jumping hurdles if you can.
So I got carpal tunnel from stirring big giant pots of food in Louisiana. I decide that I need some kind of Eastern medicinal treatment while I’m in Shanghai to balance out all the pills from my Western doctor. Who knew what I was getting myself into? Not I!
My Mom decides to send me to the Orthopedics hospital since they specialize in stuff like carpal tunnel. I get x-rays, cat scanned up and they determine that my neck is too straight. I’ve lost my natural curvature in the vertebrae of my neck causing pressure on my nerves, therefor giving me carpal tunnel.
Straight as an Arrow
To remedy this, I start off with a fun table contraption that I get strapped into and it proceeds to pull me and stretch me and all sorts of crazy chiropractic things to me. Then they screw six needles into my neck, then I get an iv at the base of my spine, followed up with iv’s for the next seven days.
Puncture Wounds
After all the 2hr iv sessions every day for seven days, I get a final day of treatment where I get an electric massage which is by the way, one of the worst feelings in the world. The pads of electricity aim at your nerves so whichever body part the pad is on, it goes nuts. Your arms go flailing all over, you twitch uncontrollably and it just hurts. Then I proceed to get needles in the neck again, with the iv at the base of my spine, which happens to numb you from that point down, so I feel like I was just beaten up from the waist down. Then I get an iv in my hand while I have an iv in my spine. As I lay there with the doctor pretty much just hanging out next to me, he proceeds to asks me things like, “Are you married?” “Oh well you’re 30, that’s old. You should have children by now.” Oh how I love Chinese people.
IV Room
In conclusion, my carpal tunnel is totally remedied. My neck’s a little sore but all in all, I feel great.
Home of the Soup Dumplings. I will master these little suckers before I come home… to be continued…
