I have never had any shoulder pain. That night I creid and cried trying to find a way to calm the pain. Since then it's eased up some but is by far from normal and barely tolerable. Has anyone else had a problem with the EMG test? No one mentioned any "risks" of the test.....had I known this I would have never agreed to it.
