Smile EE03, I hope you can obtain clarification and help!

I am sorry you have encountered such a difficult time in trying to get help!
This lack of help can be so incredibly frustrating, especially when in pain!

As you have pointed out, it is hard to understand why your doctor would not honor the findings/opinion of his colleague on the completed EMG/NCV testing/diagnoses.

Did the neuro and you have the same test results copy? I cannot believe just how many times the specialist actually gets the wrong report; the report read is often for a different person!

It would be great if this could be sorted out with your current doctors.
Yet...if not, then you need to look for further clarification.

Do you have your own copy of your testing results?
I hope so! If not, can you obtain this?

Did you write your letter of concern long ago? Some practices take a long time to get to written correspondence. The correspondence considered "non-emergent" by someone in the practice gets delayed sometimes. However, only you know just how long it has been now!

If this cannot be clarified with your current doctors, is it possible for you to take the EMG/NCV findings to a different neurologist?

If the nerve studies show neurological conditions, it would be nice if you could skip the pain and the expense of having to repeat the studies...and simply take the report to a new neurologist.

How do you think you might best obtain the clarification you need?
Please do let us know how you are doing!



[I have been fortunate that my neurologist is also board certified in performing the EMG/NCV studies and does them himself! He does not have to rely upon a tech trying to find what (he) the neurologist is most interested in looking for!]
