Good Afternoon,
I would like to add some finding from my Nerve Conduction test to this question in hopes that someone might be able to interpret them and give me a ball park on what I might receive from the VA on this..
COMMENT:
--Normal right median, ulnar, and radial sensory latencies.
--Normal right median motor latencies to the APB with normal conduction
velocity, but decreased amplitude.
--Normal right ulnar motor latencies to the ADM and FDI with normal conduction
velocities and amplitudes.
--Delayed left median sensory latencies to the thumb, ring finger and
transcarpal sensory latencies.
--Normal left radial sensory latency.
--Absent left ulnar sensory latency to the ring finger.
--Normal left ulnar sensory to the small finger and normal transcarpal latency.
--Normal left median (to APB) and ulnar (to ADM and FDI) motor latencies with
normal amplitudes and conduction velocities.
--There is significant delay in median sensory conductions in comparison
with ulnar and radial sensory conductions- this is evidenced by an abnormal
Combined Sensory Index (CSI) of 1.2 on the right and unable to calculate on the
left due to the absent ulnar response to the ring finger (normal <1.0). The CSI
is a composite sum score defined as the difference between median vs. ulnar and
median vs. radial sensory or mixed nerve latencies, where a normal score is
IMPRESSION:
Abnormal study.
1. There is electrodiagnostic evidence of a demyelinating right median sensory
mononeuropathy at the wrist (carpal tunnel syndrome). There is no evidence of
axonal loss on needle EMG.
2. There is electrodiagnostic evidence of a demyelinating left median
sensory mononeuropathy at the wrist (carpal tunnel syndrome).
3. There are electrodiagnostic findings which might suggest a possible left
sensory neuropathy either at the wrist or elbow.
4. There is no electrodiagnostic evidence of right ulnar neuropathy at the elbow
or wrist.
4. There is no electrodiagnostic evidence of right cervical motor radiculopathy.
Electrodiagnostic testing is insensitive for the detection of purely sensory
radiculopathy
Thanks in advance..
