Today I have been given an appointment to attend the Neurophysiology Department at Newcastle General Hospital for my nerve conduction studies. I will be attending on Tuesday 22nd January at 2:30pm. I have been told that the tests will last for around one hour. The EMG tests, study how well muscles and nerves are functioning. Small electric pulses are used to study the nerves, if muscles need to be examined, then a fine needle is used.
Hopefully for me these tests will be conclusive and then I can have surgery if this is required. The sooner my life is back to normal and pain free the better.
