EMG Test
Eddie,
The EMG Test is an electromygram, a test used to record the Electrical Activity of Muscles. When active, Muscles produce an Electrical Current. The EMT test helps evaluate Corpal Tunnel, Neck and Nerve and Low Back pain, Numbness, Tingling: Muscle and Nerve Disease testing.

Eddie, Dr. Wicks is not a medical doctor. He posssses a Doctor of Litterature from a recently accredited program unaffiliated with any existing college campus. He may mean well. He is not in a position to offer professional expertise related to Dupuytrens. Please talk to your own primary physician and/or send photos to an medical doctor on the "list." NA works; beware of well-intentioned nit-wits. When in doubt, rely on Dr. Lermusiaux and the Lariboisiere staff. It may take time and effort; they are not likely to mislead you. They actually have real degrees from century old institutes with international recognition. In the US, Dr. Eaton is a Doctor (M.D.) on the "list."

tests
Eddie,
Your doctor is sending you for nerve conduction studies. The EMG test has NOTHING to do with your muscles. The dr is trying to find out if the NERVES are causing your hand problems. Sometimes things like the ulnar nerve can cause things that look like Dupuytren's and other problems. There is absolutely NO REASON to be afraid of the test. It is painless and is very beneficial. Listen to your doctor's advice, get the tests done. It can only help you. Good Luck.

life expectancy
I heard that people who suffer from Dupuytren's have a shorter than normal life expectancy, does anyone know anything about this?

emg test
Had Emg test done today. Hand is really sore and my hand had been pricked with needles i presume to test if i had feeling. And 8 hours after the testing my hand is Throbbing.
My doctor told me a while back that it is dupuytrens disease and what was that got me was he still wanted me to get an EMG.
I tale it he wanted to know for definate before he was to surgicaly fix it.
He told me that if the results were to come back negative he is going to do surgery.
thanks for your time.
Eddie
