EMG Question
Posted: Thu Dec 22, 2011 6:13 pm
Hello all:
I guess i should at this point change my user name as my daughter is now 8mos old! I had minor vaginal pain diagnosed as VV prior to my pregnancy, controlled with 300mg neurontin, no sitting pain.Since I delivered last April via c-section, about 3 mos post op, my OBGYN suggested I try PT due to the continued left sided deep groin pain by my pubic ramus. Also had intermittent vaginal wall pain but NO sitting pain. Started PT in July and by September my symptoms were much worse. Developed sitting pain which consists of pain inside sits bone against pubic rami, and left sided vaginal wall pain. Saw Dr. Conway back in November, did an internal exam which did not elicit any pain wherever he poked; I do have a tenderness on the left vaginal wall which is where I feel it when I sit ,but it was not anywhere he poked for lack of a better word.. I can actually reach it to massage it. Anyway, he is leaning toward ilioinguinal possibly due to the c-section. I doubt his theory though because of this new sitting pain symptom; He did an EMG and the results were Ilioinguinal Left 7.97 and Right 3.35, Alcocks/Falciform Process Left 2.63 and Right 1.42. He still feels this could be ilioinguinal b/c he didn't feel the pudendal EMG results were that extreme. I am going for a second ilioinguinal block jan. 2 to see if this will help. Does anyone have any thoughts on the EMG results? I can't find any information for what is 'normal'.
