Thank you for the welcome Ann Marie! I cannot express how relieved I am to find people to talk to about this!
I have not had an EMG yet. I am stuck in a doctor referral loop. I don't see the neurologist again for 6 weeks; but I am hoping to have the EMG then. How much does the EMG hurt?
My physical therapist uses a cloth tape measure to measure my atrophy. I am sure this is something you could do at home. Good luck during your waiting game!
