I did not took it so I do not know if it causes shortness of breath, but if it is listed in the side effects list, it could be so.
so the clinical picture is quite clear - plexitis. Plexitis involves some weakness which is caused by inflammation. You are on the qute strong antiifnallmation treatment. This should help. But the damage is done, and becasue processes in the neural tissue are not immediate, and are tend to have a relatively large time shift, there COULD BE some worsening but then, with the physio and further antiinflammatory treatment, you will have a positive effect.
as for twitching, i remember they accompany re-innervation so they should stay with you for a while.
The cervical MRI (that showed no compression), was about 1 month ago.Pascal35 wrote:20.000 Lymphozyten is quite a lot but it might be high due to cortisone.
Do you have fever?
Shouldn't the doctor prescribe you with some antibiotics?
Thanks Pascal for chiming in. I took 100mg of cortisone before the labs. I wanted to wait, BUT I really wanted to start the medicine and get relief. That is one question to my neuro on if the one Dosis a few hours before could have affected my blood. I do not have a fever, but I have described it as it feels like my arm has a fever. Last night, it felt like I had ice/hot rub on my arm, but I had nothing. I felt cool, but was warm too. And my heartbeat was in it. I have not seen a doctor since my lab results were back. I will call my doctor about it tomorrow to see if I Need anti-biotics.No - my husband does not see it either. But the neuro did and my physiotherapist said he couldn't really see anything, but I have weak and flab shoulders/arms and the physiotherapist said that if you are not hulk Hogan, the normal Person may not be able to really see atrophy, but he trusts my neuro.With regards to your shoulder weakness.
Are you sure there is atrophy? Have you personally seen it?I am right handed, yes. My left arm though, has been off for a while. Things became heavier and harder to do. Just picking up a bottle of water or something felt totally different than before, so I know there is a real Change!Are you right handed? Its normal the left side always to be a bit weaker in the right handed people. 4+/5 is slightly weaker.
This is confusing. I have c5/C6 and c6/c7 herniations, but the Report says "no compression, no myleopathy". My normal neuro, my Hand surgeon and this self-pay neuro all said my arm Problems cannot be coming from my neck. My orthopedic, physiotherpist and psychotherpist think it's possible.Since you have c5-6 herniation its logical at some point to have fibs and psw and in addition some large MUPs because its an old "issue"What did your neck MRI say? Did it clearly Show nerve compression?When this whole thing started for me 18 months ago during my first few EMGs they were finding some fibs on my left deltoid too. They said it was due to my c5-6 herniation. After a few months noone again ever found fibs or psw... And trust me. I had done more than 20 EMGs!
II AM!!! This is my top priotity. Doing the exercises my physiotherapist gave me. I see him every two days over the rest of the month.suggest you start working out your left shoulder.I thought about this. Weird that a Professor neurologist EMGed this SAME muscle in January and found nothing. I am seeing a neurosurgeon for a consultation on the 20th. Do you think he would have an opinion about this? Would he be able to give me a EMG? First time at a neurosurgeon...In 10-15 days try to visit a new neurologist and set up a new EMG. Try not to say anything to him about previous diagnosis etc...PS - When did you have your last spine MRI? If it is more than a year then i suggest you go and have a new one too.
