Oh boy it all
Sounds so ambiguous. That is my concern... That there will be too much left to interpretation and my anxiety will get worse. This neuro is connected to the same practice as my regular neuro, so he will have access to it on same system. One of Bostons top hospitals. So my reg neuro feels it is fine to do it through him ( but a different doc will be doing the EMG), but I have seen my reg neuro many times and he has never suggested this... Like I said I think mainly because they didn't see any clinical findings and didn't want to risk false positive and subjective interpretation. But no win have these muscle movements with contraction and the twitching. That has moved from all around my calves to now my knees/ thighs. Driving me nuts around my knee! Better in calves now though. Anyway, everything you mentioned is what makes me nervous about getting this test done and simply having more to worry about...but the EMG may be inevitable at some point anyway given these strange things that are going on...
