you must do EMG and NCV to study what kind of neuropathy you have.
Yes it certainly can. Many ignorant doctors try and avoid the difficult work with testing and researching the cause. I suggest to get a thorough neurological examination and all thorough testings done to rule out any diseases. You must try and investigate your problem and not rely on your doctor to do everything as most doctors are ignorant as hell and don't care of your suffering. Doctors just want to use patients as pill dispensers for profit rather than taking the time to find the problem. Doctors can kill patients and get away with it without impunity.
If you are worried about your health ask your Doctor to send you for assessment by a Neurologist.

The most accurate phonetic spelling for the word neuropathy is?
- Webster's Dictionary says the phonetic spelling is /no̵o räp′ə t̸hē/, or /nyo̵oräp′ə t̸hē/.
- Encarta (North American Edition), using different phonetic symbols, says /noo róppəthee/
- Merriam-Webster: /nu̇-ˈrä-pə-thē/, or /nyu̇-ˈrä-pə-thē/
Apart from the different phonetic alphabets used, the main difference is due to variations in regional and local accents. So it all depends on where you live.
Some people pronounce neu as noo, and some pronounce it as new, rhyming with words such as few, hew, mew.

What neuropathy can be diagnoised by emg?
EMG is part of an electrodiagnostic examination that involves both nerve conduction studies (NCS) & needle EMG (nEMG).
An electrodiagnostic examination may diagnose many things, including:
- A lesion of the nerve root as it exits the spinal column, called a radiculopathy.
- A lesion of a nerve plexus, such as the brachial plexus, lumbar plexus, or the lumbosacral plexus.
- A lesion of a peripheral nerve. The most common peripheral nerve lesion is the median nerve at the wrist, seen in carpal tunnel syndrome. Other peripheral nerve lesions commonly seen include the ulnar nerve at the elbow, the ulnar nerve at the wrist, the peroneal nerve at the knee, the tibial nerve at the ankle, and many more.
- A polyneuropathy affecting many nerves may be diagnosed. An example of this would be a diabetic axonopathy or a hereditary demyelinating polyneuropathy. There are many, many different types of polyneuropahty.
- A myopathy or muscle disease.
Have pain in both arms press in some parts very tender and tingling shoulder and neck pain?
You most likely have trigger points on the muscles in your arms and shoulders. Trigger points are small knots in the muscle that cause pain either in the are of the trigger point or (more likely) in areas further down the arm. See "The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook" by Clair Davies. I found it on Amazon and have been amazed at the difference it has made in me.
How does a TENS unit help in the treatment of neuropathy?
Short explanation:it short circuits the pain receptors from getting the signal to the brain. It isn't really a treatment except for pain management. That is it won't make you better, just hurt less.
Per an article on medifocus health:
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) - Also known as electrotherapy, TENS involves a portable and adjustable unit that can be helpful in dealing with localized pain for diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Electrodes are placed on the skin and joined to the TENS unit with wires. Electric signals are then sent to the painful area, blocking or "interrupting" pain signals before they reach the brain. Pain reduction is experienced in up to 50% of patients and some data indicates that when amitriptyline is administered in conjunction with TENS therapy, pain reduction is noted in up to 65% of patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
Please be aware that these devices in large part have not be evaluated by the FDA for their efficacy to treat or promote any of their claims.
What is the risk of killing a nerve of a tooth that is causing you pain?
I assume you are talking about going to a dentist and having a root canal therapy performed on the tooth. This procedure removes the nerve and blood supply of the tooth. The interior of the tooth is then filled with an inert rubber material called gutta percha.
The most common risks associated with a root canal are pain during the procedure that is usually effectively controlled with local anesthetics; pain after the procedure as the healing process begins, usually managed with OTC or prescription pain medication and antibiotics; failure of the root canal therapy, which may require either a second procedure or a surgical procedure called an apicoectomy and retrofill or extraction of the tooth.
Assuming that the root canal therapy is successful, most teeth will soon require a crown restoration because the tooth will tend to become brittle and fracture. Having a crown placed prior to the fracture is highly recommended. Sometimes a root canal tooth will turn dark from the inside out. This will become a cosmetic concern if it is a front tooth visible when you smile or talk.
Most root canal teeth can last many years, often a lifetime. However, sometimes root canal teeth will fail many years later for no apparent reason. Depending on the specific situation, the root canal may be repeated.
For the best information, you should seek out a quality dentist and discuss the risks, benefits, and alternatives with him/her.
