What Disqualifies A Person From Having NA?
I've have an appt with Dr. Diaz tomorrow who took over for Dr. Eaton. I'm driving down for her to take a look at my finger (3 hour drive) in hopes she'll be able to perform NA on my hand.
I have a nodule on my left pinky (roughly 20 degrees contracted) and I do think I have a cord running down the edge of my finger (believe it's close to what's called the Ulnar Nerve area?)
I know each Dr is different and have comfort levels in certain areas, but interested to know when NA is not a viable for individuals with DD as I've heard most good NA doctors can find a cord even if one is not visible to the eye.
Is it due to severity, location of the DD or what other factors would require surgery.....?

Re: What Disqualifies A Person From Having NA?
Hi are you contemplating having the NA on the day of the appointment ? If you are taking any blood thinner ie aspirin make sure to stop 10 days prior to the NA. appointment. I've had a total of 5 NA's on my left and right index fingers, also having had numerous surgeries on both hands. Scaring can be a problem which may deter the practitioner. Does the medical practitioner use the so called "Paris" method ? Using the "Paris" method the practitioner and you will identify if a nerve is touched. If a total hand block is done there is a risk of nerve damage as the hand will be numb for a number of hours. Ask plenty of questions.
I was advised to wear a night splint starting one week after the procedure for 6 weeks nightly, then every other night over the next month . Finally wearing it once or twice a week after that. NA is the Only first option .
