Hi tchr ~ I just wanted to tell you that DON'T be surprised if the EMG comes back NEGATIVE for nerve damage. This silly test is not very accurate at all. If in actuality you have nerve damage, it will come back negative, and if you don't have it, it comes back positive.

I've had severe sciatica for 24 YEARS, so obviously the sciatic nerve is damaged, right? So says the doctor too. Well, the dumb EMG comes back NEGATIVE every single time. Go figure. My leg is numb, I can't tell if the bath water is cold or hot ~ so what gives here?

So like I said, don't depend on that test. I wish they'd come up with something more accurate than that thing. That's enough to give you gray hair!

Best of luck and Take care. Hugs, Lee
