Go to different orthopedic doctor (diplomate American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery and he is also fellow American academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons) to get the 3rd opinion.
The EMG test still came out negative but this doctor wrote me a report confirmed that I has Carpal Tunnel syndrome, it is worked- related.
Do you think the w/c will accept my case without any possitive test beside just my doctor report.
Please give me advise.
Thank you so much.

It has been documented that Emg ‘s
Can have a 10-30 percent change of error. For some reason in some people a emg may be a negative result but realistically you may have nerve damage. Just do other tests , like tineal test , your neuro or ortho will know what to do. Your symptoms are real and your emg is giving a false negative. Don’t give up find a md that is on your side because if wc sends you to a ime they will say nothing is wrong with you.
