Haven't had the appointment yet with the neurologist. Have to call him Monday to set it up. My Orthopedic Surgeon thinks it's kind of rare but I feel it explains my symptoms and pain.

I have an appointment for an EMG and nerve conduction study on the 15th. Should be interesting. Hopefully it won't take long to get the results.
Can't say I'm looking forward to it though I understand it's more uncomfortable then painful. Will post results. |

Cattle Dog,
a week to go before your surgery day. Hope things are going well. My Orthopedist wants me to have another EMG done on May 6th since the other one was inconclusive. He also wants me to see a specialist about a possible nerve graft. He wants to have all bases covered before he does the EL procedure. Keep us posted on you progress. |

I was advised one week prior to my surgery that my health insurance denied. They have indicated I need to treat conservatively for a minimum of 12 months. The surgeon plans to file an appeal, but they are not hopeful. There is no other treatment for me besides this procedure. I had everything ready to go - pre-op testing, fitted with brace, purchased a recliner to sleep after surgery, made travel arrangements. I'm very disappointed knowing I have at least 4 more months of this chronic pain. Hope all goes well with your EMG today. I talked with a patient that had the EL procedure in February. She had previously undergone a nerve graft that was unsuccessful. Let me know when you get your EMG results. |
