Hi all i have a question for any one that may have a issue like mine. Just the high points for now after a VERY painful emg to my left hand and arm. I have a single burn mark at one of the needle sites.the pain during that test was beyond words it was between my thumb and pointer finger in the middle of the soft part. Dr's say never seen or heard of this b/4 long story short i had a work related injury to my left hand and wrist the hand hyperextended backwards over wrist. as part of there attempt to treat they are looking at or toward carpal tunnel type damage. to involved to explain where their going with this w/c injury but my question is this. why the mark . and could they have damaged the hand ? dr had emg test done before having a mri. which came apx 2 months later. which showed that there was a TFCC tear in the wrist needless to say left hand is a wreck it is in a semi hard cast for now till i can sort out who did what and if more damage was done by the emg than was ord there.any thoughts will be helpfull. Dave.

I had a very bad reaction after my EMG. I had been having parasthesias in my legs and some burning pain in my feet for a month, so Dr. ordered me an EMG. Night after the EMG I woke up with parasthesias all over my body. Dr. said it couldn't have spread due to the EMG, never seen it happen before. But within days it spread all over and then I started to have burning pain too, all over body. Dr.s insist EMG didn't spread it, but I'm not so sure.

Rose, if you don't mind sharing, what were your results of EMG? Did you have a skin biopsy? Did Docs come up with a cause of your Neuropathy?

Your presentation and symptoms sound so like mine, I am just curious.

Thanks.

I shattered my heel bone 11 weeks ago. Had surgury 10 weeks ago. Ever since the surgury i've had a burning sensation thats starts at my smaller toes and travels thru my ankle and up my leg. Along with the burning sensation i also have a tingle going along with it and involantary movement of my 4 small toes. Finally after a doctor visit 2 days ago he gave me a script for LYRICA. It seems to lessen the pain and is a med that works better the longer you take it' so relief is on the way. I'm scheduled for an EMG next week to find if my pain is form nerve damage. So for i've had numerous xrays and 2 Ct scans with no definate answers. So if an EMg caused her what to feel the pains i've been feeling for 10 weeks i don't know what to think.
