A member asked:
I had emg and ncs performed a year apart. the first was abnormal and the second healthy? what does this mean? pain continues.

Tough to assess: Unfortunately, many EMG's are performed in an incomplete and unreliable fashion, so, very difficult to compare, unless same doctor did both. Also, your note gives no clue as to what is occurring. Suggest you schedule a Concierge visit to go over all of this.
