Glad to hear that you got an appointment...I really hope that he is able to help you. As for the EMG...that's up to you. I had one done and while it was painful I didn't have any lasting effects from it or anything (though I know everyone is different). If you don't feel comfortable with it...cancel it. If Dr. Lubenow thinks it's necessary then you can schedule another one and you can talk through your concerns with him if he orders the test.
