EMG?

Has anyone had one of these and how were you afterwards? I had mine yesterday and today I cannot believe how bruised I am. I literally have a bruise and swelling the size of a fist where each of the needles went in and am in sooo much pain. I had serious doubts about having it done anyway and am now really regretting it.

Sorry to just pop in to moan and ask questions but I am sending you all lots of love and hope you are all having as good a time as possible.

Thanks

Managed to avoid that one - and very glad I am too after your description! Ouch!

Let’s hope it turns out it was worth it.

Hope you feel better soon Jacqui, sounds horrible!

Ive had two this year and though the results were very different both hurt fairly equally.

I wrote a post at the time butt can’t seem to find it.

It was like an outdated method of torture!

I think the descriptions in the little leaflets you get were not written by people who’ve had it done.

On the bright side, you will be less sore in 2-3 days,

Thanks both of you. I have more strength in the forearm muscle today and the bruises, whilst very impressive indeed, don’t hurt as much. I argued against having my legs done at the same time and am so glad I did as my friend would have been taking home a torso rather than just me being armless!

The guy doing it said that if there were lesions on my brain, even if only a few, then that was more likely to explain my symptoms but obviously had to do what was requested.

Hope everyone is well today. It seems where I live is about the only place that doesn’t have any sun at the moment.

Hi Jacqui

Had one 6 months ago - lets just say it wasn’t the most comfortable experience I had. But I grin and bore it if it was going to help me get any closer to answers at the time. Throughout the procedure and for at least a few days after pain in my back flared up - which wasn’t so nice.

Hope you’re on the mend.X
