Well I have good news.
No nerve damage. So now i hope i can get cleared the 22nd. But ill tell you about the nerve testing stuff it was kinda weird.
First they stick little reader things to read the electric impulse, then they shock parts of your leg. They hit this spot on my knee, and my whole foot just jumped. So they did that to 5 spots on my leg. The next part was the weird stuff
So the doc Preps my calf, quad, and the muscle in front of the shit. Then he sticks a 27guage needle into the muscle. Now while its in there its transmitting sound back to the machine, they would have me flex while the needle was in the muscle. Really no pain at all, except the muscle in front of the shin, wonder if you can inject there. Then he did my back, which was pain less. After that printed out a lil sheet, and every thing came back normal. Kinda a cool experience

You guys are so far gone. can you imagine what a normal person would think of such a procedure. Sticking needles into you and then moving around while they shock you. ...And you're fine with it. LMAO

Yes, I can imagine what that person would feel like... as I had an accupuncturist try to stick needles in me when I was injured training briefly at the Shaolin temple in Henan, China.
I just about killed the guy. Damn that hurt.
I'd probably do better with it now... but I doubt it since they purposely are sticking the needles right onto a nerve.
Anywho.... congrats on the no nerve damage thing, FBC. Good news!
