My Arm Returns To Normality (Somewhat)

I can actually feel my left arm now! Woot!

After all the fun neurological tests (I never want to have an EMG AGAIN), the source of the problems with my left arm was unknown. However, my physical therapist seems to have found the source.

A combination of tight muscles and tight nerves in my shoulder shut down most of the nerve messages going down to my arm. The result was the weird feelings of no feeling I was having and the lose of strength. After doing some simple stretches for a week, I can feel it again! Happy Day!

While the stretches have solved the nerve issue, the muscle issue will take a while longer to work itself out. It takes much longer to get the strength back.

I am amazed it was so easy to fix. The hardest part of the fix is the sleeping changes. It's hard to not sleep on the left side of my body or on my stomach, my preferred sleeping positions. Now I have to force myself to the right or the back and that is not comfortable at all. It takes a long time to get to sleep and the sleep I get is crap most of the time.

At least if I wake up at night, the cats are there to amuse/annoy me till I fall back to sleep.
