Lab data

This is what she sent me. From: FNP To: Sent: 03/09/2026 08:02:11 EDT Subject: EMG results Patient, Your EMG results showed mild bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome and mild bilateral ulnar nerve issues. Neither arm shows a generalized peripheral neuropathy that would explain the numbness in your feet as well.
