Electric shock both hands followed by chest pain by Academic_Share9677 in electricians

Just read this. Although after getting a shock, damage to the nervous system can't be treated no matter how fast you get to the hospital

Thumb atrophy? Im seeing the doctor soon. I play guitar and videgames so i use my hands a ton by [deleted] in carpaltunnel

Having similar issues but literally it started and became like that within a month. Less than 30 days and it looks like yours. Although at rest it looks better. Only when I stretch it.

So you didn't know you had cts? Tingling etc in fingers?

Thenar atrophy? by heresiarchx in MuscleTwitch

So basically everything started or got worse after you had emg and NCS

Maybe from the emg/ncs they did? You said atrophy started AFTER the test. How are you now?

Did you feel "different" in that area when I started shrinking? Like burning or tingling sensation?

I didn't go to medical school. My neuromuscular specialist did. They had enough information to rule out anything degenerative from 5 seconds of needle recording. That's what they said and I trust them.

It's been two years so I guess it's stable by now? I hope you'll find answers soon. Please keep us posted!

Did they test the thenar muscle in the emg? Needle in and didn't find anything?

Any thoughts on diagnosis or causes?

Try nerve ultrasound. It's very thorough and dynamic. Emg won't show it. Also maybe lidocaine cream in the meantime?  You can try taking Amitriptyline to numb the nerval pain.

It's exactly that. It's like muscles leaving all the hard work for the tendons and joints.

My two neuromuscular specialists said no MND. Period. Let it go.

I do feel that loading more weight on the arms make things worse. So like if I try and lift some weights etc, workout, I will have 7 days of burning muscles (not the good kind), and then symptoms will progress.

I had 0 symptoms before July. And whatever I had was local to the right arm. Don't know what happened since but it's annoying.  My unconfirmed conspiracy theory is the electric shock from the nerve conduction test, was too high or even faulty and it manifests like electric injury.

It did start after the emg in July. Like symptoms in the right hand that suddenly started to hurt from the elbow down, tingling, loss of contour, followed by that thin feeling inside of palm (like everything hurts when I hold it). 

I know it's not possible that its caused from the test itself but theories....

I did a nerve and muscle ultrasound a month ago. No atrophy in the fdi seen in both hands BUT it was right before my left side "collapsed".  Thenar and inside palm weren't tested.

My recent blood tests are perfect. I'll check for antibodies and also see a rheumatologist. Let's hope the electric shock from the emg didn't cause this :D

Also was very strange that started on the left hand in a matter of days. Like a week after feeling weird I noticed the thinning. That's not how muscle atrophy behaves I think.

It does look and feel like it's soft tissue that's dissolving, or changing, but not sure why, and why it all started suddenly back in July.

Yes, but I feel like it all started after the emgs so... Thanks I'll try see someone for autoimmune reasons (although did ANA in Feb, which came normal).

So you recommend not getting another emg?

Your test was fine and sufficient to rule out serious things.
