Can you tell me more about it?

My calf and shin muscles are Always in spasm, even when not “cramping”. The neurologist stuck a wire in my muscle and told me there’s nothing wrong with them. Then he told me, multiple cringey times, “you have fabulous muscles.” I said, “Look, that’s the Problem. I don’t work out, I’m not flexing. They are like that All The Time.” He just told me again they’re fabulous.

My first symptoms of peripheral neuropathy were constant painful muscle spasms in my toes at night and extremely tight calf muscles that did not respond to physical therapy. The first diagnostic step was an EMG. My peripheral neuropathy was caused by an autoimmune reaction due to the Covid vaccine. Could you ask the neurologist if he would consider ordering an EMG?
