Electromyography

Hello, I just got back from neurology. After testing my reflexes with little response he's decided to book me in for electromyography to see what's happening with the nerves ....which is a good step forward.

He mentioned all DA I said ...no ,he also mentioned amitriptoline but I explained this wasn't suitable.

He was suggesting some form of diazapam but I can't remember the name, however ,I've to continue reducing the pregabalin, have the nerve test and then he will review based upon any findings .

Has anyone had this investigation?

Thankyou.

According to WebMD "Needle electromyography and nerve conduction studies may be done if your health care provider sees signs of nerve problems like neuropathy."

EMG has been mentioned here a few times, but I didn't read anything here that I felt was particularly useful:

I don't know whether you'll find this of interest (while your profile doesn't say I think you're in the UK):

Thankyou , I'm happy he's taking this line of action as it will at least try to rule anything out .

Hello....no depression, this went as soon as I stopped the gabapentin. Legs are awful currently 275mg pregabalin but wake after a couple of hours and need max strength ibrufen to take the edge off.

My tongue is on fire so indicative of either low b12 or low iron.

I've just bought the iron bisglycinate today and am starting this tonight to see if it makes a difference xx
