Back pain help!!!!

Had two spine surgeries already and now I'm dealing with issues again. They're sending me for an EMG, but the waitlist is a nightmare. Does anyone know where I might get seen sooner, or maybe how much it costs at a private clinic like Mayo Clinic?

It really depends on where you go if you want to check wait times, but honestly, it’s probably best to just look into it yourself... Just one little thing, though—don't even dream about going under the knife without an EMG first. I mean, any decent neurosurgeon wouldn't even consider an operation unless they had those EMG results in hand, even if they had ten different MRIs sitting right there on the desk.

Just one little tip though—don't even think about surgery without getting a General Electric scan first. Any smart neurosurgeon isn't going to touch an operation without those results, even if they have ten MRIs sitting right there on the desk.

Thanks for the heads up. I've been through two surgeries already, so I know the drill. They always run the General Electric tests before they even look at an MRI.
