  • How long does it take for nerve damage to heal in your hand?

    There is no one answer - everyone heals in their own time, and it depends on your overall health and what kind of damage there is. It should be improving in a short time, but it depends what type of nerve damage. Most things should improve rapidly. READ MORE

  • How do you test for nerve damage?

    We do a basic neurology examination, take a very good history, and often use EMG/NCV and/or SSEP testing, which can be very helpful to aide diagnosis. READ MORE

  • What is the best painkiller for back nerve pain?

    There is no one answer to your question; it depends on the exact location of pain and the quality of pain and how long you've had the pain and where and how it began. We stay far away from narcotics these days for all but cancer. Often, a simple anti inflammatory muscle relaxant, and sometimes a topical prescription cream compound can be very helpful. At times, more chronic meds such as gabapentin can be helpful as well. READ MORE

  • Numbness in left hand?

    Aside from seeing your primary care doctor, you should see a neurologist for a better history, physical, and likely nerve studies, but better determine the exact cause of your symptoms. READ MORE

  • Does this mean Parkinson's disease?

    This does NOT sound like Parkinson's, but it seems concerning. Let your primary care doctor know - I'd be concerned for a heart problem based on what you are saying here. READ MORE
