I had a NCS done two days ago on my right arm, hand, and lower right leg. During the test, I found it painful, but not unbearable. Results came back normal. That night, after I had a shower and went to bed, I started to get spasms. Now, on night two, I can fall asleep, but am getting very painful electric-type shocks that wake me up. I have done a lot of reading on forums, and it seems for some that this test can be a start or an unlocking of a chronic never or vein condition-for some, it seems to fade after about a week.
I would really like to hear from others as to their experiences, and what I can expect. There is practically no information on side effects on any website. I did hear from the tech that did my test that it can effect people in varying degrees. Oh, I should explain I had a head injury about a year ago, and my GP sent me in for testing as I was getting random, intermittent numbness and tingling in my toes and fingers. I also have a radial head fracture in my right elbow. My pain has intensified and increased since this test. Thanks for reading and your sharing of information and experience.
