The other test he recommended is an EMG but my pain management doctor had previously said never to get one b/c it's insanely painful with no real benefit. The neurologist of course disagreed with that assessment and insists it's valuable.
so my question for y'all is did you have an EMG done and how bad was it? Is there a value in doing it in your opinion?

Hello...
Yes, there is value in having one done. It will give your physician and yourself a answer as to if there is any nerve damage or pinched nerves and possible location.
I have nerve damage after having spine surgery. The EMG not only confirmed it, but also confirmed I still had a nerve being pinched by a Tarlov Cysts. The more information the better is my opinion.
Its not comfortable, but I don't feel its not intolerable painful either.
