Well I suppose I will write it again...
I had a positive EMG test and then D. brown did what I call the "does it hurt here test?" where he pokes everywhere and while nothing leaps out at the time, I am on fire that afternoon.
I then went on to do several blocks in my neck, including the scalene block. I had wanted to do Botox injections but after all the blocks I decided to go forward with the surgery. I had already spent a year doing acupuncture and PT. I decided that I didn't want to spend anymore money on temporary fixes. That is how I came to my decision. Hope that helps!
