My EMG/ nerve conduction test shows the muscle are spasmed and contracted but they can’t tell me what is causing it nor why nothing works. No muscle relaxers including the soma which is a controlled substance, Flexeril, baclofen, Skelexan, and robaxin, I have tried Botox. Mine has gone on since 2002. It’s frustrating now my foot has muscle knots. I tried stem cell no luck.

@artemis1886 I did the Nerve Conductivity and EMG tests as well. I have what is called Denervation at the T12-L1 juncture of my spine. That nerve stopped working more than 2 years ago. So now I have Radiculopathy around the right side of my rib cage because the nerve isn't working.
Unfortunately, the nerve specialist I worked with gave up after he performed an Epidural at the T12-L1 vertebrae and there was no change at all. He just basically threw his arms in the air and said out loud, "I don't know what's wrong with your spine". That was it, he gave up.
This is why I have seen so many doctors at so many hospitals. Most of them give up after trying one procedure, one image, one recommendation, so I have to keep looking on my own. It's been my full time job for almost 3 years now, but I'm not sure what to do next.
