I have to go in and get an EMG done on my left arm today...and I am anticipating a lot of pain since I have RSD in that arm. The dr knows it's going to be bad but he thinks my ulnar nerve may have been damaged when I fell off that ladder back in October. It's going to be a rough day today...

I hope it goes easier than you are expecting or being told to expect.
I don't have RSD but neuropathy and I did not have pain with EMG.
I realize RSD causes you to be more sensitive ...it does not take long if that helps. Thinking of you and wishing you an pain free test and no pain later!
Take care, Diandra

Catra,

I hope everything goes smoothly and comfortably and you get the answers you need. Remember to breathe and think calming thoughts during. Or think on your baby girls' laughter. If you have any lidocaine cream maybe that would be helpful afterwards. Let us know what they find.

Sending hugs and healing love,

UGH...AGONY...but all the major nerves look ok so thats good. Abnormalities in the ultrasound so he ordered an mri of my shoulder...basically just looking for confirmation of the rotator cuff tear and to see how bad it is so we can see how long for recovery and what treatment options there are. But...the pain right now...ugh...

Glad it's over for you and showed no major damage to the nerves. Hope you are feeling better soon!

I agree. Serious Nerve Damage would really have been a serious hardship. I too am glad that you don't have to contend with that. I hope resting will help bring the pain down to baseline for you after all you've gone through.
