It is important that you have objective medical testing findings for your ssdi application.
"echo's"is right about the "SSDI"part.it help me sooo much!

Default Emg
The test can also be googled up. It involves placing needles that arn't very big into parts of the affected limb. A small electracal volt is passed through these needles. This will tell if nerve function is being compromised. The test can hurt for some, and not for others. From what I understand is isn't pleasant, but can be tolerated well. For DX and receiving SSD, etc. it is probably a good idea, for your qualification. I passed on the test, but for me the docs, could easely see what was wrong with me without it. I wish you all the best. ginnie
