Hi Tim -

As others have mentioned, you can't rely on the results of the EMG's to determine whether or not you have nerve issues. I had an EMG which the doctor said was negative in the early phases of my RSD, but I very definitely have RSD. I wish the EMG had been right, and that there was nothing wrong with my nerves. IMHO, EMG's are pretty much useless as far as RSD is concerned.

If you have to go through another one, you may want to ask for some chill meds in advance.

So sorry for your pain, and I hope you get the treatment you need ASAP. The RSDSA is an excellent resource - see RSDSA.org.

XOXOX Sandy
