Can anyone tell me what an EMG looks like for someone with TOS?
I know that an EMG is not a commonly used diagnostic tool. Dr Newkirk (TOS neurologist) sent his patients in for the 3D MRI/A/V and not for an EMG. I had an EMG and the neurologist that ran the test said that it is the ONLY way to diagnose neurogenic TOS. Since my results were fairly normal he tried to tell me that I didn't have TOS. I know that this is not what Dr Newkirk and the Denver and CA surgeons told me and I am just wondering what to do with this information. My current neurologist (not knowledgable about TOS) sent me for the EMG to try to learn where my elbow and forearm pain is coming from. The PT I had prior said it was definitely from my TOS and not from tennis elbow, etc. I'm just trying to put the pieces together so that I can do what I can to lessen the symptoms. In the meantime the nerve glides are helping me to some degree! ![]() Last edited by fern; 09-24-2009 at 10:49 AM. |
