I didnt have the emg. I was scared it would cause me more problems. I had my appointment with Dr.Lubenow and was glad I got some answers even though they was not what I wanted to hear. He said emg would have been a bad idea because of nerve damage due to my surgery. He changed my meds and told me the nerve blocks I had wasnt enough when I had them. The bad news was he said the swelling and the pain was mine forever( due to the nerve damage). He now wants me to have a tunnel epiderall infusion then therapy to regain some movement in my hand. crps sucks!
