Re: How you are helping others here:
<t>Racer, I couldn't agree more. I do the same thing, check the board daily to see if there are any answers to my questions or look to see if I can give a few encouraging words to someone.

Re: Physiatrist & EMG
I have had one EMG by my local neuro. It wasn't too bad. Some muscles hurt more than others, it was mainly a deep sort of pain when he wiggled the needles around a little. I have another EMG scheduled for Feb 10 at the Mayo. Good luck. JJ
