Can an EMG test help diagnose Fibromyalgia
Hello - I was just told I have Fibromyalgia by my rheumatologist but need to wait on my blood work results to confirm this diagnosis.
In the meantime, I have a question regarding a test I had done many years ago on my legs. I was seeing a neurologist regarding tingling to my hands/wrist and feet/ankles. He did a test on me called an EMG (Electromyogram) on my legs to find out how my muscles were working and looking for any nerve disorder. Once the test was completed, he told me I did not have any low scores and my scores were fine. He also said I did have extremely good scores / very high #s. Could this have been a sign of Fibromyalgia? Overactive nerves?
Just wondering as I wait for my blood results.
