Has anyone ever had this test done with the tests results coming back fine, but you still ended up having Carpal Tunnel? My neurologist said that my test was fine, but when I told her the symptoms, she said it sounded like I had it. Does this make sense?

Mine showed mild to moderate problems in my wrist (neuropathy), but the neurologist told me that even if it showed very mild issues, a person could still have a great deal of pain/numbness. I made the choice to have surgery, not him. In fact, he said to just try a brace and nsaids for a while. If they did not help, then I could always think about having the surgery.
Not sure if this helps.

An EMG test relies heavily on the person performing it. If that person makes even the slightest mistake, it can make a big difference in the results. Maybe you need another test done just to be sure.
