lol yeah i think if there is one test i would tell a newbie to avoid the emg is probably it. i had the screws in my tib plateau removed in the office with just a little local and honestly i think the emg is worse. i have a funny reaction to a doctor procedure. i dislocated my knee and broke my leg in 2 places and my ortho doc felt the need to poke and prodd way to many times i finally told him if he did it again i was going to kick him. needless to say he ignored, i kicked in the head, he slammed against the wall unconscious. when he came to he looked at me and said "ok my bad". i was 13 and he knew i did kickboxing for cross-training.
anyway i wouldnt recomend an emg i just wondered if anyone has had more than one in the same area as the disease progressed and had varrying results.
i did and i thought it was kind of funny because most of the time i have had one it was because my hand hurt or my foot hurt...and the results have become more significant and when they were done prior to a flare the results were far less sigvificant. i guess i am trying to find other people who have suffered through the procedure more than once to see if their number changes are the same as mine sorry i had to remind so many of the horrible procedure

thanks for all the input
