Physiatrist & EMG
Physiatrist & EMG
Has anyone seen a Physiatrist and/or had an EMG? I will be seeing Physiatrist on Feb 24. I was measured for prosthesis for my left arm at New England Brace Company by Jeff. It is questionable whether my shoulder and arm can handle one.
Peg, my therapist would like me to have an EMG but she said they are very painful. It's possible my bicep is damaged beyond usability; my triceps seem to have some function. She questions my deltoid muscle as well.
We’re working on exercises to strengthen my shoulder, back and arm. They both want me to see Dr Tran, Physiatrist, to evaluate me for the prosthesis. I was hoping someone could give me some more details on what to expect.
Thanks,
Janelle
