I'm really thankful to get more information to help with my treatment but I am super scared about how much it will hurt and the flares that might follow. Thanks for the advice and support  |
Hi Spoonie,
First thing my neurologist did was a EMG. She pricked me slightly with a pin like needle slightly to see if my CRSP had damaged any nerves and it was used to tell exactly which nerves were involved.
As far as pain I did feel some discomfort when she used electricity to conduct the test. But it was manageable.
No flare ups afterwards but that's not to say you won't have any.
All I can say is that it's a needed test for evaluation purposes.
Good luck to ya and I hope you find some sort of relief...
