A member asked:
If emg is normal could there still be nerve damage after 2 elbow surgeries?

Unlikely!: Your pain can be the result of surgical issues and what caused you to require surgery in the first place. But you really need nerve conduction studies to rule out injury to a specific nerve. Your question suggest you have not. See your doctor to discuss what diagnostic studies are needed!
