I recently had an EMG for pain/numbness in my hands - yes - after buying an insanely expensive bike. The EMG wasn't too bad. It wasn't definitive about where the pain is coming from - either the neck or nerves that run through the elbows. So, I'm going to have a cortisone shot in my neck & if the pain/numbness goes away, it's coming from the neck. Otherwise, it's the elbows. Ain't science great?
Dogmama...I'm curious as to what type of doctor you are currently seeing for your hand issues? Sounds like we are in similar situations. I simply cannot get another bike at this point. I am embarrassed to even say how much money I (well, my DH) spent on the 4 bikes I have gone through in as many years. This custom Ti Seven I am riding now is it, for the foreseeable future. My DH will divorce me if I even consider another bike! (joking, of course...but seriously, another bike is completely out of the question).
