Hi Laura,
I was in a similar position as yourself...my EMG, nerve conduction study, x-rays, vascular ultrasound and CT scan all showed up "normal" but I continued to have symptoms. I saw two PTs, both of whom said they could not assist me and tried Botox injections. Therefore, I ended up having surgery 6 weeks ago, and I have noticed positive effects from it.
Of course, everyone's situation and symptoms are different. I was fortunate to find a fabulous surgeon, and I decided to have surgery when I realized I didn't want to live with my crippling (literally) symptoms any longer.
I just wanted you to know that I hear you. Although many diagnostic tests came back "normal", I continued to lose strength and circulation. Is surgery something you would be willing to consider? Or would you rather try PT again to see if it provides relief?
Take care.
