Most causes are easily treatable, provided your doctor has determined the cause first. and usually consists of the symptoms you describe. Posterior interosseous syndrome can be caused by elbow trauma, fibrous or tendinous compression of the Radial Nerve in the forearm, rheumatoid disease, cysts, etc. Is there a means to predict what I can expect in the future or what possibly causes PIN? Thanks.

Up till now there has been muscle loss around the wrist area and slight weakness in the hands. I have not heard from my primary care physician yet with the complete analysis however, I don’t know what caused this or what to expect from here. The EMG Doctor diagnosed me with PIN Syndrome on the spot. I just had an EMG a few weeks after a nerve conduction test revealed concerns in my elbow to wrist area. I would have that report looked at by a qualified EMGer, neurologist or physiatrist Posterior Interosseous Nerve Syndrome (PIN) Usually demyelinating lesions of the peripheral nerves heal very quickly, unlike axonal lesions, where the nerve fiber is cut, which take longer to heal. That does not sound like a very good EMG diagnosis because it doesn’t tell you much. I would like more information as I was told there is nothing to do since the damage has been done, except pain control and seeing a neurologist.

I was tested two years ago and just advised today that I have the above diagnosis. Mixed median nerve neuropathy with demyelinating features Nerve Growth is slow though, about 1 mm/day. Disc bulges usually leave the nerve connected, so when the cause is eliminated (or gets better on its own) the nerve regenerates. Nerve damage is reversible when the nerve is still connected (in continuity) and the cause of the damage has been removed. If a disc has caused nerve damage in an arm, will it be permanent or can it be fixed? Nerve injury due to bulged disc is it reversible? In situation like yours, I would want to know what is causing the recurrent symptoms before I treat and an EMG (you can’t have an MRI because of the metal plate) would be very helpful. They brought up the idea of steroid injections to get rid of pain in neck and shoulder so i can continue my career. Don’t want to do surgery again only as last resort. My doctor wants to do a c6 nerve root block, right now I’m doing traction treatment but that’s not working, I’m trying to get some advice on weather a EMG would be a good idea instead of the nerve root block. All was well for one year now I have a herniated c5-c6 disc. I need some advice, last year I had my c6-c7 disc removed and fused with hip bone and metal plate.
