I’m having an EMG tomorrow in Houston. I’m obviously scared. 8 months ago I started having tight pain in hips, 2 months later mid back pain when standing gets worse as day goes on. 4 weeks ago legs start twitching all under skin feels weird. Mood has been depressed I’ve never felt like this in...

I apologize if I accidentally posted this twice. I tried posting earlier but I’m afraid I did something wrong and lost the post because I can’t find it. I’ll try to re-type my sentiments from my earlier post... I went to visit my PCP regarding muscle twitching. I have had twitching for about...
