Worse Neuropathy After EMG Test?
I had an EMG test done four days ago, and my neuropathy pain has been MUCH MUCH worse the last three days. Anyone else? Suddenly, none of my creams, meds, and devices work to reduce the burning and tingling. What can I do???

Yes, research has proven that there is absolutely no cure for PN and its effects. All we can do is adjust our lives and deal with it. PN made me retire early as my weak feet couldn’t get the brakes down properly and when you’re landing on a 6000 ft runway at 110kts, you need to get the plane stopped. Hang in there people.

2 ReactionsWe all have a tendency to say "...there is absolutely no cure..."
Ivig, however, has proven to be quite effective in the treatment of certain types of neuropathy.
It is absolutely crucial that we are properly diagnosed.
I had an EMG performed last summer with no apparent side effects. Since it is non-invasive, I can't imagine any long-term problems. However, I tried to have a trial of a SCS last Fall. About two months after that, I began to feel all kinds of neuropathic symptoms develop in my legs and feet. Was it that invasive procedure that caused all the new symptoms? Who know?(Only the Shadow knows)
My NCS and EMG left me in terrible pain for about 4 days. I could barley walk.
This confirmed my suspicions i should never have been given a SCS, and it strengthend my resolve to remove it...didnt have much choice my body was rejecting hardware plus I couldn't ever use Stimulator again. Hope you feel better.
