i had a EMG and skin biopsy with a neuromuscular dr this past monday and ever since my symptoms have been MUCH worse..
the feeling of something stuck in my vagina is just awful!! the burning and itching when i sit is unbearable! (although its always bad when i sit) this is
just worse now?? they did a standard EMG on my leg?? why would my symptoms be worse now? or maybe it's just a concidence? :?:

Guess the nerves have been irritated a bit more and its all connected to your leg - hope this fades off. I too have burning. itching and the hot poker in the vagina - why the hell do our bodies do this.

Take care

Was the procedure painful? Maybe your muscles tensed up as a result and put more pressure on the nerve. Or if you already have central nervous system wind-up the procedure could have contributed more to the problem. Hopefully this will be a temporary flare-up and you will be able to calm things down with ice, extra meds, etc.

it wasnt to painful! uncomfortable,but not painful..it's been 8 days since my emg and it still feels bad..;( i dont know how having that test could have given me such a set back..;(
the vaginal area BURNS and feels like something is stuck in there ..;( could this PN come and go or is it something that starts off and then get worse over time?? ugh!! i have an appt with a PT next month HOPING and PRAYING for some answers to what i have..ive gone almost 8 months just being pushed from dr to dr with NO dianoisis..im so depressed over this i just want to know what the heck is wrong already...
