The Road to a Diagnostic
September 2015
I had just started an administrative assistant class when an odd sharp pain started in my forearm. It slowly went away and it didn't came back for a while so I thought nothing about it and went on with my life. Maybe a month later, the sharp and stabbing pain came back stronger. So strong that I had to leave class and went directly to the see the doctor. He told me it looked like carpal tunnel and that he would send me for an electromyogram which is when they send you small electrical shocks to measure the electrical activity produced by muscles. And here I was on the waiting list. He also prescribed Vimovo which didn't do anything. Meanwhile, I had more and more pain in various areas of my body and they then stopped. Just like that. What was going on? I got some blood work done and everything came back normal.
