Hey @bustrbrwn22, thanks for being the acronym buster. I'm so glad you weren't afraid to ask. I actually edited the title to include electromyography. it's a good reminder to spell out medical abbreviations.

Look at us patients slinging around the acronyms. We don't like it when docs and nurses toss them around, so we should also try to spell out short forms in our messages. 🙂

I agree, it can be confusing. However, speaking for myself and my hand, arm, shoulder, head or eye pain, or some variation of such, I take short cuts, miss words or letters, in a rush to get thoughts out as pain increases from typing. Many times I push through a lot of pain to do so and that's on me. But, I'm a die hard y'all!
