I re-read the posts today. One person mentioned EMG tests. I would get every other test you can besides that one for your diagnosis. The EMG is a ruff one to go through, and I would not submit to it. I was able to get the help I needed with others tests that didn't hurt so much. I would question the giver of the test and his or her experience with it before I did the proceedure. Alot has to do the capability of the technician. I am a chicken. I make no apologies for that. I am also a difficult patient sometimes. Just get all the information you can. I wish you all the best in your search for answers. ginnie
