 EMG & NCS Studies
I am sorry for your pain. I completely understand. I had an EMG/NCS study done on my lower left leg. Won't go into the details leading up the the EMG/NCS 'cause I don't want to hyjack your thread. The test hurt like hades! Not only was I electrocuted, I was used as a convenient pin cushion for all those long thin needles! OUCHies!!
Anyway my tests came back positive. I had a tarsal tunnel done in early 2008 after my initial tib/fib bone explosions. It worked miracles. Now six years and 4 surgeries later I have an abundance of scar tissue and yet another tarsal nerve entrapment. It seems likely that the nerve is entrapped in the scar tissue. Options are surgery which will cause yet more scar tissue or theraputic massage to help break up the scar tissue. Needless to say I'm going to try the massage first.
Wishing you the best of luck. Try massaging the painful area. It hurts like - well - bad word - but it may help. |
