A member asked:

I had a negative emg over a year ago but my hand specialist doesn't seem to think i'm worth retesting. i'm still in pain. why won't he do a mri?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See details: He won't order an MRI because he believes it has no diagnostic value in your situation. If the first EMG was normal, there is no reason to retest. Back pain is not related to hand numbness. Get a 2nd opinion with a neurologist.
