My morning trip to the doctor

Had my EMG and Nerve Conduction Test on my foot this morning. It was uncomfortable but I got the results and it looks like Tarsal Tunnel. So Friday I go see the surgeon. Maybe I can get my foot healed so I can start walking and exercising again.
All hooked up.
The Probe that sent electricity into the muscle/nerve and made my leg jump really bad.
Muscle readout in the nerve.
Putting the needle in the nerve and then they sent electricity into it and checked the conduction.
The battle wounds. It will leave several bruises on both my legs and feet but it wont last long. Ice it and I will be back to good in no time. The back of my legs need to be tanned more. You can tell that I sit in the sun a lot and the back of my legs aren't as dark...LOL


I am so happy that they found some evidence of Tarsal Tunnel and this may be the answer I have been waiting for. Been having this pain now for 4 months. It took them long enough.

  7. You have young feet and ankles!! I hope the doctor can fix your foot. Tarsal Tunnel must be the foot version of Carpal Tunnel. No fun at all.

    At least you don't like chocolate! I would like not to like it.

  12. I have had this nerve test done and I know just how much it hurts. I have to say though that I got a chuckle out of how you were taking pictures through it all :) I bet that was at least a little distracting! Hope you make out well at the surgeon. Keep us posted.
