I don't know if Dr. Conway does the EMG's on children, you could check with his office. It is painful I do want to warn you. Have you thought about going to NYC and getting a 3TMRI with Dr. Potter first?

I agree with Nyt. If it's at all possible for you to travel to NYC, the MRI would be a lot less painful than the EMG. I never would have had it done if I had known about Dr. Potter beforehand.
Warm regards,

Ultra Sound in 03/08 showed severely retroverted, detaching uterus with mulitple fibroids and ovarian cysts.
Pressure and pain in lower abdomen and groin area was unspeakable and devastating.
Total lap hysterectomy in 06/08, but damage was already done.
EMG testing in NH in 04/10 - bilateral PN and Ilioinguals
