emtdennis Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) probably a pinched nerve at 1T on the spine..... Controls nerves from the elbow to the fingers.. Edited August 2, 2012 by djdudley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERDoc Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I'm not trying to be an ass dj, but how does a pinched nerve produce bilat symptoms? Can you be more specific about what T1(I think that's what you meant) controls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFIB Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 probably a pinched nerve at 1T on the spine..... Controls nerves from the elbow to the fingers.. I see what you are thinking but would also have the suspicion that this might be a little more serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emtdennis Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) I must admit, I looked on google for nerves controlled from the spine. I will go back and look it up. I threw that out there because it seemed so specific. let me see if I can track it down again and post it here. It is because the symptoms were bilat, that made me look for a "common demoninator". My Edit: There is a site called suddenlyms.com that has an illustration of what I was talking about. I tried to copy and paste the image here but for some reason couldn't get it to work.

DFIB Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 If he is sitting I would immobilize with a KED the concern being a spinal chord section. Moby gave it away with the xray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
