Went to the U of Florida Health and got an appt regarding the tingling and numbness in my hands, especially the right. Got an appt the next day. It couldn't have gone better. Dr. Shah took extra time with me, gave me EMG and NCV tests right there and personally administered parts of the NCV when numbers didn't work. Diagnosis: Ulnar Neuropathy. Got to keep my arm(s) straight as possible till it/they heal.--------- Electromyography (EMG) measures muscle response or electrical activity in response to a nerve's stimulation of the muscle. The test is used to help detect neuromuscular abnormalities. During the test, one or more small needles (also called electrodes) are inserted through the skin into the muscle.-------- A nerve conduction study (NCS), also called a nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test--is a measurement of the speed of conduction of an electrical impulse through a nerve. NCS can determine nerve damage and destruction. During the test, the nerve is stimulated, usually with surface electrode patches attached to the skin.
