This EMG study was different I called the physician after a couple of days to tell her that I was in extreme pain from the EMG, and they put me on Neurontin 600 mg a day. I was told that the nerve was irritated and it would be fine. The first EMG study showed nothing, I was in pain afterwards. I had a bi-later framinotomy last October, and still had the pain, then I went through 7 1/2 weeks of Spinal decompression and still had the pain. I needed him to continue since I have had a pain shooting through the front of my right leg for the past 3 years and nothing I have done has helped. I was fine through the nerve study, but when the doctor put the needle into my leg for the muscle part, I screamed and felt like something was shooting through my leg, pulsating.
