Outstanding presentation Dr.Crump!
How to straighten a curvy base, please? I have a green and a red electrode I place on the patient along with a concentric needle
Well someone has to say it! Doctors di not care if you are actually screaming in agony. You are just a bother to them. I was operated in at Nourlunga hospital. One visit from the surgeon then dumped like garbage.FOUR YEARS OF AGONISING PAIN . Yet there is something wrong with me because i want to die! Doctors fuck off!!!!
I am diagnosed with CRPS.Multiple surgeries post ankle surgery.Discharged,no aftercare.Hospital acquired injury,and trying to manage pain control myself.POP,gave me a pressure sore.
Thanks Nick, in the last stages of studying for the FPM exam in less than 2 weeks
Ncs test is easy...... Its not that bad...
Just perfect..Thanks
Nice, continue
I can't get diagnosed with it. No one know here in Canada recognizes it. All my doctor did was a nerve conduction test and then said I don't have it. I've been in a pain clinic for a year, and they are calling it chronic pain in my leg and foot. Im so mad. I definitely have it.
Thanks. Typical ineffective polypharmacy
Hello everyone i personally recommend to you all Dr Ehimare on CZcams channel who cured my husband permanently from Al's disease
You can see how a brains response lights up but can't necessarily know the person's response to the neuronic activity.
How can using a pain medication when it hurts be the "absolutely wrong way to use medication"?? Forest for the trees, Man! You CANT know all and sometimes need listening to the patient's own experiences.
Very informative really enjoyed it thank you!
best video I found to explain EMG
Good explanation of EMG well done u r examples of EMG case report
I would like to ask the specialist giving this lecture for advice. When chronic post surgery pain following cholecystectomy becomes unbearable who do you turn to for help? I live in Adelaide, operated on at Nourlunga hospital ,the surgeon actually said when I complained about çhroic incapacitating pain at the surgical site he didn't explain c.p.s.p syndrome . His actual words were " well you signed the consent form didn't you" I was not told I had a 30 per cent chance of permanent pain. I have since seen a private surgeon who explained it to me. He said 30 percent will have post operative pain but I would put you at the top one percent because you have been left unable to lead a normal life. Work housework walking dancing all gone. But the most painful thing of all? No Doctors actually care. I am four years post op now. If the Doctor reads this or someone who knows him brings it to his attention I have a question. Is death the only cure? I was told it was probably due to nerve damage. No surgeon would explore options so I got a razor blade and sliced my abdomen open a cross the pain site. Unfortunately I nearly bled to death and I use that word unfortunately because if U had died I would be pain free. Does any doctors read this?I'm planning to suicide in October 30 because it's my birthday and I've had enough. artdecolady0000@gmail.com
Im sorry to hear you have been struggling so much. I hope you are still with us. I am not a doctor but a patient. I also have severe chronic post surgical pain. Life is hell
I have chronic postoperative pain after a hip labral tear repair 2 years ago. Im on duloxetine and gabapentin and it has helped. I have see 5 neurologist. I found 1 good one in Kansas university. She mentioned seeing a pain clinic to see if I can get in low dose naltrexone. I’ve been in a dark place also. Don’t give up hope.
@@cortnihansen5804 mine is the hip as well! I've tried low dose naltrexone it helped with the allodynia I experienced after surgery. Wish you all the best
@@cw9452yes life is hell😷
@@cortnihansen5804thank you for your words of comfort.Its been a long time since I've been able to cry🙏🩰
Excellent video, but when you were talking about F reflex, you said it is constant in latency. I think that the F reflex is not consistent in latency but the A wave reflex it is, which is the only way to differentiate both.
Hi All, If a patient has benign fasciculations and during the EMG procedure, they experience muscle twitching etc in the area that is monitored by the electrode, do the EMG results show abnormality? How are they any different than someone with a condition such as ALS, or MS?
fantastic!! Thank you!!
Excellent job for both medical students and non-neurologist. Thank you.
Fantastic summary. Thank you
Very comprehensive . thank you
REFERENCE WHERE
After suffering from post surgical pain following laprascopic gall bladder surgery for four years I have decided to take my own life. There is no cure and no treatment. My GP refused to prescribe pain medication so I started seeing a private pain specialist. She doesn't prescribe just advices my doctor what he should do but he won't because of strict drug laws. Yes I've tried Lyrica and gaberpenton and cannibis oil, nothing works. After four years of agony the relief when I started to plan my death was immense. Doctors lie to your face. There is no cure, no help, no sympathy. I was not warned of this possible complication before my surgery. When I went back to the surgeon his comment was you signed the consent form! Yes I have seen a psychiatrist, he said I was not mentally ill but in untreated unbearable pain. I am in Adelaide South Australia Surgery done at Nourlunga hospital. I was not in pain or worried before the surgery so those factors don't count for me. A big thank you to the surgeon for totally destroying my life and the washing his hands of me. Surgeons do NOT want to hear about post surgical pain syndrome. Is there any one in Adelaide who would try and help? A neurologist? A doctor who cares about patients in pain? Sadly not.

Bhai hindi me iska video banaona please samjhme nahi aara achche se
No more CRPS pain? Please read. About ten years ago I began to experience pain in my left foot that was simply excruciating, I thought it might be gout but after tests that was ruled out. I was eventually diagnosed with type 2 CRPS, no idea what triggered it. I was fortunate because my doctor allowed me to try Tramadol, and unlike any other PK, it was reasonably effective at 200-300mg a day. I was looking forward to living my life in a state of semi zombi-ism, that was the effect Tramadol had on my get up and go. When the pandemic hit I began boosting my vitamin D levels, I was 5' 7" tall and about 19 stone, so I took 5,000 itu's every day, I still do. A few months into my regime I had lost about a stone in weight, I put it down to our being on lockdown, but since then my weight has continued to fall, I now weigh 13 stone, but my eating habits really haven't changed. The real benefit however has been this. About 3 months into my regime, I began to notice, or should I say, not notice, the background pain that always persisted, the Tramadol numbed it well, but it didn't stop it. I slowly reduced my Tramadol intake over a 3 week period, the result? I have had no neuropathic pain worth talking about any longer, I occasionally find there is mild discomfort, but nothing I would describe as pain. I have not taken any Tramadol for about 18 months :). Please try this, please, please try this, it cannot hurt you, most of you are vitamin D deficient period. 5,000 itu's a day for 3 months, maybe I am a unique case, but if you don't try it you will never know. God bless and I hope this helps some of you.
Very informative
wow this how every patient should be examined hope in my country goverment hospital soon do assessment like this.
Thank you already been on over 50 vitamins supplement s. Been through so many incompetent doctors! That solve CFS/me website offers no significant treatment options are cures but boy do they want donation s for some reason!🤔😤👏👊👍
you cant get a "poly-phase reading from a single-phase DC circuit. Idk what the hell you think your talking about, but there is no poly-phase demonstrated here
Great video! Been on the work cover system since I was 17 for what would be seen as a simple injury but now has turned into CRPS/SFPN & arthritis. I went 7 months in 2020 without a case manager, no one to contact, nothing. Dealing with the insurance company causes me more mental anguish than the injury itself which brings on a pain flare but I can’t claim for that because it’s technically not related to the initial injury. The system is great for an initial injury but the long term care of injured workers needs ALOT of work.

I want to use this medium to appreciate DR Abumere for curing me from herpes virus after 4 years. It was shocking to me when I was diagnosed of herpes 4 years ago because I didn't know how I contacted it and I became depressed when my doctor said there was no cure to it and every attempt I made to get cured failed until a friend told me about DR Abumere and I contacted him at once through his website and he sent me his formula and also guide me through and now I'm herpes free. You can contact him through his www.drabumereherbalremedy.home.blog or email him on doctorabumere6@gmail.com

He had also been on the Atkin's diet, and while he wasn't faithful to it, the weight just kept peeling off. We realized later it was due to the Cancer. Soon he had trouble eating anything without increased pain below breast bone, but turning yellow overnight was the symptom that led to visit to dr. He also started having greasy floating bowel movements. When he was diagnosed, it was already stage 4. The cancer already in lymph node and liver,we tried diffrent drugs and treatment but it was still not working,we spent alot of money on the process still no changes untill a friend of mine advised us to try harbal medicine,she told me about Dr Harvey and how he has been curing people from cancer and other deadly diseases With His herbal products,so we quickly Contacted him and explain everythig to him and he assured us that his herbal products can Cure my husband so we purchased it and used it according to his priscriptions after 30 days, my husband went for a test and there was no trace of any cancer in his system.it was really a miracle am so happy about this, all Thanks to Dr Harvey. if you have any semilar Cases or anyone you know kindly contact Dr Harvey now Via his EMAIL:[Drharveyphytotherapy@yahoo.com] or WHATSAPP:+16785689096 save a life today..
Do people go on disability for this?
Excellent presentation thank you very much. Going for my test in June I have to wait till June it’s March and my left side is just bugging the crap out of me and I’m down to my foot getting better my right side now mostly on the left it comes and goes but when it comes it’s not comfy it’s just a persistent weird numbness tingling nonstop sensation and even affects the back of my head I get the weirdest sensation in my brain specially on the right side where it’s like my brain is falling asleep
i am interesting
How does a G3 MRI differ?
Just want to add some things rhat helped me. You could probably study further. Rest a lot, try to sleep as much as possible, good quality natural diet full of vegetables, fruit, grains, nuts and seeds and meat. Cutting out gluten, milk and eggs made my pain tolerable. When starting with exercise start with deep breathing and relaxation exercises and start slow (doing 50%of what you think you are capable of), practice a positive mindset and gratititude (even if the only thing you can be thankful for is the fact that the sun is shining). Medication for the most part was not good for me but extreme selfcare and selflove. That taught me compassion for others. I still do get flare ups caused by hormone fluctuation and viral infections.
I have a feeling this guy has no clue what it’s like living w/ chronic pain. What a bunch of bs
"Complain" Some of us suffer in silence because who wants to hear a complainer. It is not a complaining syndrome. The symptoms are real, and can be debilitating.
