Well, I developed a tremor in my thumb in 5 days ago. I do not love any of the possibilities the neurologist siggested but I am trying Not to look on the internet until a diagnosis. He wil NOT use needles due to my Le but will it mess me up anyway? I feel I do not have a choice---since some of the diagnostic possibilities could be pretty awful and we need to find our what is causing this...Is it gonna mess up my LE more? It is in my arm with the 1 tumors ans a ganglion on the same median nerve.

Hits keep coming...

    Moogie, KS1 has had the full EMG in her LE side as she has some brachial nerve plexopathy, and there were no issues with her LE.

    Hoping really hard that this is just a local thing. A mass on the median nerve could definitely be the culprit here.

    You can pm her.

    Thanks so much, Kira. I am not looking on the internet at all--because the 3 big alarms that rang in my head---were the 3 things the neurologist mentioned. I do find it...stretching credulity----that something systemic  would evidence only in the arm with a big lipoma on the median nerve, a big ganglion on the wrist, and significant post mastectomy nerve damage. So, I pray for a mechanical issue--even if that has no good answer...just no more systemic conditions please!
