Re: What is EMG testing?
Hi Nancy
Can I ask you was your surgey very painful? Is there any scorring? and what was your recovery time? I only learned the name of what I have this past Jan. when I fractured my erbs arm at the gym. I have never met anyone else with this so I do not know if my injury is considered mild or severe.
I am glad you are so much better off now.

Frank,
Was my surgery painful? Not very to tell you the truth. I was suprised both times at how little pain I had. I did not need the pain medication. The day of my last surgery (which I did as an outpatient) found me, in the afternoon, roaming through a national wildlife reserve looking for new birds to add to my life list. But I have a very high threshold for pain normally. I think a lot is dependant on that.
With the mod quad, I was in the hospital for 3 days and found the recovery from anesthesia to be the most difficult part to overcome because it made me a bit nauseous.
The continuing therapy often causes pain but that is the soreness one feels when working muscles and it goes away.
I had more pain from the EMG than the surgery!
Yes, I have scarring. But I scar even from a scratch. The scars are of no consequence to me (but maybe that is because of my age!) except that I want to be sure that any internal scarring does not cause adhesions. So I do a lot of scar release.
