Todays EMG(by Doc #1) showed that the medium nerve fibers in both of my feet are not responsive. He turned up the machine to 70(?) and got no response at all which is what his first test on me nearly two years ago showed. He isn't considering a biopsy but sent me off with a ton of bloodwork, some sort of urine testing in it as well, and I'll be going back for another EMG next week. This one will be done with some hefty pain relievers. He told me that Doc #2 only tested the sural nerve and did not do the feet. So I'm glad that this test validated the earlier one and hopefully this will lead to a firmer diagnosis.
