Not only was I electrocuted, I was used as a convenient pin cushion for all those long thin needles! OUCHies!!
Anyway my tests came back positive. I had a tarsal tunnel done in early 2008 after my initial tib/fib bone explosions. It worked miracles. Now six years and 4 surgeries later I have an abundance of scar tissue and yet another tarsal nerve entrapment. It seems likely that the nerve is entrapped in the scar tissue. Options are surgery which will cause yet more scar tissue or theraputic massage to help break up the scar tissue. Needless to say I'm going to try the massage first.
Wishing you the best of luck. Try massaging the painful area. It hurts like - well - bad word - but it may help. |
Oh that sounds terrible. The test was not brutal for me at all.. .maybe it was the location. I mean the electrocutions felt funny... but the needles didn't really hurt at all.... just left me with pinpoint size bruises all over my arm. HAHA
Sounds like you've been through torture though. I hope your pain goes away soon!
