I go for another EMG soon. I had one a little over a year ago (seems like yesterday). Since I haven't had many over the years they really didn't have much to compare it with.

I was wondering for those of you who are older, have your EMGs showed changes (worsening) over time or are they always the same and just show damage?

Kissy
I have had emg's on both arms and both legs... that was more than enough for me.
They found damage in my robpi arm that affected all the nerve's and damage in both legs.

If they want to know if it's gotten any worse they would have to bang me over the head with a baseball bat before I could stand another emg... LOL...

I am not a baby when it comes to pain and my doctors are aware I have a very high threshold for pain, in fact too high. But how awful I feel after emg is just not worth i for me.
Since you don't have any real answers and are young I would advise you to go through with it because you SSD may depend on it.
I have had weight bearing MRI, BPI MRI, cervical MRI and a few others so I had a lot of documentation when I applied for SSD.

You need all these tests to back up what we already know.
