I went to an orthopedic surgeon today... and this is the first test they are gonna do on me...
Electromyelogram (EMG) — An EMG is used to evaluate the activity of the spinal nerve roots. The test involves placing small needles into various muscles and measuring the electrical activity. The muscles’ response, which indicates the degree of nerve activity, is measured. Another test, called a nerve conduction study, often is done at the same time as an EMG. Nerve conduction studies measure how fast an impulse is transmitted from one nerve to another.
