What is the name of the test many of you have done to find out what nerves are not working in your arm? I think it is EMS or ETS. I'm not really sure. I would like to schedule the test for myself, but I can't remmber its name.
Thanks

Hi Heather
I have had 3 emg's and 2 MRI's... The emg is the test that will tell you what nerver's are functioning.
It is a very uncomfortable test but as far as I was concerned it cleared up some blank spots for me. I wanted to know what was injured and the exact nature of my injury. I think we have a right to know. I was tired of not fully understanding what functioned and what did/could not function.

They usually also do a nerve conduction test at the same time as the EMG so you should have both of these tests done.
