I've heard that EMG's come up normal for many of these neuropathies. I'm wondering if any of these are more effective:
MR Angiogram
MR Neurography
MRI of brachial plexus
Scalene block
Thermography
These are some of the other diagnostic tools I keep running into in my research. I want to DEMAND the most effective test.
Anyone?
Thanks.

The NS saw me after an MRI revealed a bulging cervical disc. He ordered an EMG and a mylogram(I referred to it earlier as a discogram, I think) and he did a physical too, but the ortho who sent me there had done a more thorough exam and found some irregularities with reflexes and some other neurological signs. He knew my history, I gather from the ortho, and by excluding other causes, he made the diagnosis. I hope this info is of some use to you.
