Thankyou for the information, I've had 2 EMGs, they were not pleasant, I was lucky the neurologist giving me the first one said only one thing he knew of could read like that, PTS. If my insurance would pay I'd still be going to PT. I do all the exercises, I have been told my thumb, index finger and forearm will never be the same, I just wish this discomfort would get better, otherwise I workout, kayak, work, just a little handicapped.
