Is there any other tests other then EMG for type of neuropathy?I was diagnosed 8 yrs ago with large fiber idiopathic polyneuropathy. New dr. wants another emg. I just cant do it, much too painful for me. I can still remember the pain from 8 yrs ago. Dr.did not suggest any other testing and does not want to see me again, only if I have changes. I would love to have further testing with no pain. Suggestions??

Unfortunately, I don't think there are any other options. I've had an EMG test done on 3 separate occasions by 3 different neurologists in the past few years. It's not a fun procedure, but it lets them see where the nerve damage is.
