I fractured my humerus in mid-November and had an open reduction surgery (plate and 6 screws) on December 1st. Upon waking from anesthesia and after my nerve block wore off, I discovered I couldn’t move my hand. Somehoe during surgery, my radial nerve was compromised/severed/pinched/stretched/insulted/generally pissed off and now I currently have a radial nerve palsy.
I’m scheduled for an EMG (electomyogram) and nerve conduction study tomorrow and I’m not sure what to expect. From what I understand, it’s not going to be fun, but it also won’t be horrible. Any experiences with these tests and what can I expect?
