Dear Coley6

Thank you for the updates, its unfortunate that your symptoms seem to be getting worse. I think a nerve conduction test is necessary, from what you are saying ...there are possibly neurological causes that have been overlooked. My earlier texts had that clause in it about that possibility. I think your physio has helped you long enough but if infact there are neurological causes, then its time to have a specialist look at it...I can understand your frustrations and fears with regards having further tests done, but delaying it further is not going to be of any help in my opinion.

your initial diagnosis of the hypermobility syndrome may be playing a part particularly in how the blood supply to these nerves are functioning, so sustained positions of your neck etc may be contributing to all this...i would suggest holding off phsyio and getting assessed by the neurologist/vascular specialist first...

but if you have to see a different physio, bear in mind you want to avoid any fixed postures now and you want to possibly improve the blood supply to these areas, so sleeping postures, postures in your daily activities are going to be important to look at...

if you could describe how the taping was done this could be also helpful to know...

keep us updated

many thanks
