Ha, Ha, Ha:tongue: You have a very twisted sense of humor:D, but that's ok I kinda do too! Wondering though, if you can feel the electricity while test is being done, cuz I know that'll mess w/me!! I can't even use my tens unit w/out my muscles twitchin' all over the place! Anyway, still scared, jen:hug:

i probably should have been a little more thought full with my no emg if you can avoid it. i had a brachal plexus (sp) injury and a ulnar nerve damage. i also had major damage to my knee. so i have had a few to many. if you are only going to have one and have a doctor who is willing to back off they arent to bad. they get to the totally uncomfortable point when they go really frrp and forwarn you its going to hurt. sorry i didnt mean to scare anyone:(

Hey don't worry about it, I was just jokin'! I'm a big girl and I suppose it's my choice whether or not to have one. I guess deep down I'm hoping they find some kind of reason for my rsd, I know it's a long shot but there it is. The truth! :cool:jenny

just me, but i would not do it. i am done until someone find a cure, and even then, i will have to see it work on one hundred people and have them all get better before anyone touches me! i guess i am a bit extreme, but i feel some just like to do tests for no real reason. now, if you have something pressing on your thoracic nerve, what will he do about it? if nothing, then why go through the test? if it may be fixable, then that is a different story, but i bet you could see something pressing with an MRI which is painless. just know your options and all the whys and hows before you let anyone do something that may make you flare. who needs that?
