      Spinal tracts are not a common area for me at work. We did try to look at the simple reflex, but I suppose we could look at dorsal column issues

    I’m sure you’ve had tons of comments like this one. However, I originally came here only for the ASMR, but I’ve actually learned quite a bit. My girlfriend is anemic, and she was feeling super dizzy and tired one day, so I checked her capillary refill and recommended that she take an iron supplement with a full glass of water and eat a banana just in case. She felt much better after that.

    • @DrJamesGill
      @DrJamesGill  Рік тому +24

      If she thinks she is anaemic, it would be worth while getting her to see her doctor, as the question would be “why anaemic”

    I know I'm not supposed to do this but I've been following along with deep dive videos and doing as many tests on myself as I have ability to do (reflex is practically impossible solo) to figure out what is wrong with me since specalists are hard to come by in my area and far too expensive, now I've been able to rule out Carpal Tunnel Syndrome for the most part.

    You should have add physiotherapy to the option... Because they do play a major role in managing CTS.

    • @DrJamesGill
      @DrJamesGill  Рік тому +1

      Very true, physio is a great tool, but tends to be more utility after surgery, as to the best of my knowledge physio can’t adjust the inflammation in many cases

      If we receive self referrals for suspected carpel tunnel without concerns of underlying additional features we would always splint at night for 6 weeks, some hand and wrist exercises / neural glides and if no improvement generally would be referral to hand teams if patient willing anyway. Most people just need to modify tasks to avoid aggravating symptoms for sensitivity to reduce rather than NCS / ortho opinion. Thanks for the vid doc 😊

    I mostly come to your videos for the ASMR, and i watch them at night, muted, so that the only stimuli my brain gets is the image and the movement... so, i likely miss a lot of the spoken information :// but sometimes, as i get sleepy, questions come up to my head... for example, Dr. Gill,
    - Is there a specific reason why you didn't check both hands, like you usually do on the other videos? Was it because the issue was already known to be in that one hand?
    - As a doctor yourself, how often do you go to the doctor? :))

    I had sympathetic pain in my right pinkie finger during part of this exam. Weird! No problem with carpel tunnel, that I know of. Can have problems if I have my hand above shoulder height (on a bus for e.g.) for any length of time. Then I get a numbness that can last for the right half of my middle, all the ring, and pinkie fingers of my right hand. Not surprisingly, I try to avoid having my hand/arm in that position.

    I have a brace and am getting the nerve test done again soon. My symptoms have come back and are getting worse and not going away. This was like so therapeutic to watch for some reason. I could do this for so long.
    My symptoms have always been spot on for carpal tunnel. But the first time I got the nerve test done I wasn’t formally diagnosed bc numbers weren’t completely matching up 🤷🏻‍♀️ and I’m apparently to young for surgery but I’ve been managing and it’s not really getting better so we’ll see. When doing the phalens test I can barely have my right wrist at a full 90 degree it hurts.
    The patient’s posture also hurt my back watching lol but love the videos
