Well this EMG/NCS was definitely not as bad as the one I had a year ago. I am feeling it more now though.
The neurologist said that unfortunately my nerve damage is below the fibular head, so no surgical option for repair. He also pointed out that the damage is not limited to my peroneal nerve but also involves my tibial nerve. However, it is not as severe as it was a year ago. He didn't say that indicated it will eventually resolve. I asked if my increased pain could be from the nerve(s) healing, he said it was not. He wants to do a 3-part bone scan for diagnostic confirmation/rule out but still believes it is a combination of neuropathic pain and CRPS (I guess that just makes it CRPS Type 2, huh?). We will see if the insurance will cover the scan and then schedule it. Otherwise I have the LSB on the 17th.
Haven't taken the script for Lyrica to pharm yet but if that isn't covered, it's $250+ even with goodrx, so that won't be happening.
Overall I feel there is at least a direction even if none of them are pointing to complete resolution.
