Question for you.

- When I do the Tinel's test with my hand at normal temperature, no sensation is felt in the radial aspect of my hand.
- When I do the Tinel's test immediately after icing my hand / wrist, there is distinct tingling / sensation throughout the radial aspect of the same hand.

Is this a positive test?

Thank you sir for making very helpful videos

[ch-p]

Do you have to perform this test on both hands or only one?

[DratiniJesse]

[sandeepgill]

sir why we tap along the median nerve from distal to proximal...??
why we can't tap from proximal to distal?

[anjalirk]

I guess the tapping is done on the medial epicondyle for tinels test!

so what if I have parasthesia all over my body 24/7?? i've already been to a neurologist and did a brain MRI and everything is fine, could this be just anxiety?
