Please HELP ! EMG was neg, now what is wrong? - Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Message Board

Please I need some help,
My doctor told me that the emg came back normal, but I am still in a lot of pain and all the same stuff is going on. Nothing has changed. She canceld the surgery and told me to try another new brace for 6 weeks. It is not in my head, Everyone see's the diff colors in my hand and the lump I get in the arm and how bad my arm and hand hurts, it makes me cry even. I dont understand what is going on. And I can not get any answers from my doctor for 6 weeks, because she is having her baby now.

Any ideas what is going on, and why I am having so many prob and the test comes back okay?

Has this happened to anyone?
Does the EMG test tell you if it is your muscles or just your nerves?

Please any help would be greatful,
Hugs Chele'

Have you investigated thoracic outlet syndrome. The symptoms mimic fibro and myofacial pain. Not sure about the rest of your pain but mine is in my shoulder, arm, neck, lower back, leg. I had accepted that I had fibro and mps but found out that I tos in both shoulders and hope to have surgery in the next month or so. My veins are also constricted in both arms. This can cause carpel tunnel as well. Try a nerve conduction study and see where that gets you.

You need to get a second opinion.
