Had an EMG - which was normal. At this point - which doctor would be the specialist to explore the myopathy? Thanks
Hi.
I believe that an angle to be considered is the probability of a primary muscle problem or 'myopathy' than can give ris to this type of pain. Muscles can swell or become inflamed causing pain which can be referred to different areas of the leg, buttocks and back area. An EMG or a biopsy of the muscle may be needed.
Another consideration is micronutrient deficiency causing a severe form of neuropathy (such as that of lack of the B vitamins).
If all of these turns out to be negative, and further diligent search becomes unfruitful, then this can be labeled as 'idiopathic' and treatment will just be directed towards the symptoms.
Regards.
