I had an EMG done once, but it seemed a bit bogus. How can an EMG confirm you have "permanent nerve damage." ??
I know they strap you to a machine and stick you with needles that send electric impulses down the nerve. I would like to know how these tests can confidently confirm that the nerves have irreversible damage.
