Maria:
Good but not great news from your MRI--thank you for posting.
Was the OSS able to demonstrate weakness in your arm and/or hand? What are his thoughts now that the MRI is back?
I do have weakness in my dominant arm which is glaringly apparent in the gym but because I do workout, I do have some strength in the arm. Only 2 of the now growing number of neurologists and neurosurgeons I've seen have been able to clearly demonstrate a problem on clinical exam with the test where they push down against your extended fingers and I think it has to do with the exact angle from which they are pushing--and my inability to resist is very dramatic.
Maybe an EMG and nerve-conduction studies?

Hope you get some answers.
