It could be a form of torture...

So as most of you know, I have been seeing a Dr about a nerve injury that I received from a blood draw while I was in the ER back in Feb. It has not gone away so I was referred to a neurologist for nerve conduction studies or EMG, along with a nerve conduction velocity test. I have been dreading this all weekend although I knew that in order for me to possibly heal and have the hospital take responsibility I would need to have these tests done. So in I went today. Well let me try and describe it. The 1st part put electrodes on my hand/arm and then use a large probe...kind of like a griddle plug that delivers a short electrical current...so it starts out little and strange since a part of your nerve jumps. Then you hear her turn up the current and move it around your arm...not a good feel, she continues to turn it up until she gets all the results. Actually my arm still does not feel right. Then she moves to the other arm to compare. After that torture is done, she then takes 2 small finger rings and places them tight around your fingers and sends electric currents through those. After the 30 minutes of being electrocuted goes by, she then takes out 4 probably 7 inch needles and jabs them into different places in both arms to see the response to those. Thankfully that is the end of the torture. While I was walking out I think there was still current flowing through my body. She did tell me that the pinkie on my good hand, has bad nerve function and is numb and should feel like it is asleep. Now I have to return in 2 weeks for the results from my torture test. Lets just say, I am glad it is over and I sure hope I never have to experience that again.
