Is it worth getting an EMG if most symptoms are improving except for isolated areas of the body?
As far as diagnostic testing went for me, I had brain CT, MRI and probably every blood test they could possibly run, as well as observation before my FND diagnosis. I often wonder though if more could have been done, or is it not really worth it?
I’m curious about the EMG possibly being of benefit because of fasciculations, which I was told were benign based upon the above tests, and my gait pattern is still erratic. After many months of rehab I’m showing great strides in symptom improvement except for when it comes to walking. I still have one foot that sort of flops around when walking, like it will land in a different place with the main contact area on the soles of my feet landing kind of like it’s rolling, in any direction depending on the step.
I’m working on strengthening exercises for the ankles, hips and glutes but this floppy foot thing is really driving me nuts.
Has anyone experienced something similar? Should I just power on with the FND diagnosis and physio therapy or do you think an EMG would be beneficial?
