Default go get your EMG

Burk

I would get the EMG...it is the basic neuro "101" test for nerves

I've had 5 done in the past 2 years...it is "irritating" but it does not hurt..you will survive

your EMG results will at the very least give a clue to your neuro what you do NOT have as well as what you might have

it will also establish a baseline EMG test so if your symptoms increase in severity/duration down the road your neuro could order a 2nd EMG to compare with the first

I have stated many times "not knowing what is wrong with you is often worse than knowing what is"

if I were you I would call your neuro back and schedule it...you have nothing to lose
