I had the EMG done and it was pure torture. Mid evil like, seeing a machine that came out of the 60's. The person who conducted the test was uninterested in the disease overall and could have cared less that when she began the test in my leg where the RSD originated, I screamed loudly grasping onto either side of the bedding due to the amount of pain that test placed me in.
I went sonorously ignored during & after when my ankle blew up and no longer resembled one with both ankle bones disappearing, taking on a color of a light bluish hue. I was then told to get dressed and to leave.
The EMG should be done away with all together & has no room in this field of testing.
