I posted a few weeks back about the weakness in my right shoulder, wrist, hand. At that point i had an emg last month (with a NCV) on my right arm- all came back normal. Since then i've been to my GP who pretty much has no clue as to what it could be since he feels the neurologist has done multiple tests and all came back negative. I also went to my monthly chiropractic visit and told him about it. He had me do a grip test which showed that my right hand (which is my dominant hand) had a weaker grip- it was 105 on left side and 95 on right side. He said that he would normally send me to see a Neuro to be tested for MS or ALS but since i just had the clean emg that it was not necessary. So.......no one knows. I don't want to go back to my neuro because he thinks the fact that i'm 30 years old and we've done numerous tests is a clear indication that nothing is wrong and he's pretty dismissive of me.
I'm just not sure where to go from here....
There's really no pain or numbness in my right hand/arm. Just the occasional twitch and fatigue/weakness. I go back to the chiro again next week and i'm gonna see what he thinks. He gave me some exercises to do to see if it helps with 'blood flow' in my hand/wrist and some exercise band workout for my shoulder.
Not sure what the next step would be and who to see next. Any thoughts or suggestions? I'm not freaking out about ALS but would definitely love for someone to say "this is what's going on". Since the Dr's aren't very helpful i have turned back to the wonderful people on this forum.
Fire away.....
