I had a partial emg years ago and that was enough for me. it is needles and it records the nerve activity as a sound. if you hear all static you know the nerve conduction is like a radio ... no longer conducting the music from here to there ... mine was all static. it verified that my nerve activity was not going to return and that was what i wanted to know. so it was worth it to gain that information.
only do what tests you want. do your research. only take what meds work for you ... doctors often think they know best, they don't. you are your own best judge. joan
