Nerve Compression in Wrist and Cervical Spine: Surgery Ahead

I have had both my wrists done. It has been so much better having them done. Both wrists are not in pain like they were before. Although, you still experience some pain but it is different and isn't continuous. I diffently recommend getting it done. My hands are no longer falling asleep or am I experiencing that awful pain 24/7. It has been almost a year, my left wrist was done in January this year and my right in February of this year. Prayers on your surgery!

😥 That is sad news. I just had carpel tunnel surgery three weeks ago. My hand is doing well. Compared to my knee replacement, carpal tunnel surgery is a breeze! Spine surgery is no joke though! My friend had bones in his neck replaced! That is so crazy! He is doing very well and is happy that he had it done. I pray that your surgery goes just as well ❤️‍🩹

I have an issue with my C5-C6-C7. Also just had surgery in January for my right wrist and in February my left. I had an EMG done as well however the neurologist decided she didn't think my neck needed to have the test done. So, now I am fixing to do physical therapy for a bit before going back to my neurosurgeon to see if that helps or not. If it doesn't them I will have the EMG done on my neck. The neurologist that did my EMG is not with my neurosurgeon or the same hospital! Anyway, my neurosurgeon thought the carpel tunnel surgery would help my neck pain but it hasn't she was pretty pissed that the neurologist didn't do the EMG on my neck too!

I’ve actually had one done before and remember it being slightly uncomfortable.

It was not incredibly painful. But man with neuropathy it feels so weird. The needle part is tiny uncomfortable but it’s tolerable.

I’m having an EMG this Friday. Doctor is suspecting cubical tunnel syndrome which is where the nerve near elbow is being compressed.
