Long story saw rheumatology back in June told him about problems with feet. No feeling in little toes and one next to them on both feet and cramp like pain he put it down to osteoarthritis which I did not think it had anything to do with osteoarthritis had face to face with GP who referred me to MSK specialist in feet and ankles who did a load of tests one which included testing reflexes in both feet and ankles which showed I had no reflexes in feet or ankles he seems to think I have peripheral neuropathy and a bit of osteoarthritis in toes but said that the symptoms I am getting is not to do with osteoarthritis. Was referred to see a neurologist had a shock got appointment two weeks after seeing MSK specialist neurologist did some more tests and has referred me for nerve conduction studies and EMG studies have appointment on the 17th November. Has anybody had these studies done if so what are they like? Still waiting on appointment for MRI on spine.

Hey @Boyden1964 this sounds like a detective novel, I'm sorry they've not been able to find the answers you need yet. But getting that appointment after just two weeks is amazing!
I've had EMG tests before on my feet, not painful but a bit sore afterwards, so nothing to worry about there.Albus (he/him)

Hi @Boyden - I've just seen your post. I've had nerve conduction tests twice on one of my lower legs, & had no problem with the tests at all.
