@bilt4pain thank you. Most helpful. Yes, it is prior to surgery. And yes, regular Medicare with Medicaid picking up the 20% . I realize now that I can stop it at any point I feel it too painful to continue, and I would. I just remember the 1 done on my arms as being excruciating and I tried to stopped it but the administrator kept saying "1 or 2 more"; like 15 times!!! I will stipulate in my consent that when I say stop; it means stop, I'm going home now; not stop for 30 seconds and continue. Hopefully this test and the administrator will be better than before.

@valleygirl1955 All my assumptions were correct. I hope you find the inner strength to overcome anything challenging about this testing. My worst experience at a neurologist office was going in for these tests, a doctor came in and said the brain tumor above my left ear was to be removed. What brain tumor ? I was scared to death. I didn’t have any brain imaging? I stayed in that room almost 90 minutes before someone else came in and said the doctor had the wrong chart and wrong room. Thank Goodness she wasn’t my doctor. It was a bad day, luckily I can laugh at it now.
