@age73 Regarding the EMG, try to research the doctor who will perform your EMG. I had an EMG performed by a well-respected neurologist and he had me jumping off the table with pain. It was so senseless. He said that it was because I was overly sensitive to pain. A month later I had a second more thorough EMG performed by another neurologist and only once did I experience slight discomfort. It was like night and day between the two. I hope you will find a doctor who is skilled at performing EMGs.

I wish I would have known that you should always research your doctors before scheduling an appt. I was also jumping off the table. When they got down to the couple vertebrae in my lower back it hurt so bad I didn't even let them finish. I couldn't take any more pain! It's torture!

interesting! when I had the 2-part test done I couldn’t wait til it ended it was so uncomfortable. It might be compared to having a dentist numb your mouth with s needle, getting blood drawn or having a steroid shot in your foot: it all depends on who’s doing it. The Dr. who performed the EMG test on me had over 20 yrs. experience!
