NCS side effects
Is swelling and blisters can be a side-effect after NCS?
I did NCS of both lower limbs to my 68 y/o woman lasts Wednesday, possibly poly neuropathy. She didn't complain of any untowards pain during the test.
Today, Saturday the patient came back and she had right foot swelling and blisters. Are these a side effects of NCS?
Blisters location are not on the stimulation site.
Thank You, and stay safe

I enjoy participating in the AANEM Connect Forum for a number of reasons. There are very fundamental questions posed on a frequent basis that cause me to pause and ask myself, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ Also, I continue to learn new things when others contribute their thoughts and experiences. Connect is an excellent opportunity for members to interact and to address any topic, including those that may not be discussed at an annual meeting or journal article.
