How did the nerve test go? Were they able to find out more information asto the cause of your neuropathy?
I had the EMG test recently, ordered by my new hand specialist because I am losing strength in both hands. The test was not very painful and sounds scarier than it actually was. And I was scared! My test results showed that I need carpal tunnel surgery, which I cannot afford. And I have no one to help me because I cannot lift anything for 10 days, etc. I had visions of the EMG test telling the doctor where to give me shots or something but I was told only surgery will help.
I left thinking, well, orthopedic doctors make their living through surgery, so of course, surgery was the answer I got. I guess that is cynical, but there it is.
