In order to receive disability some individuals have to obtain an attorney that specializes in this area. How they are paid depends on the attorney and different states have different laws for what percentage they can take once you receive benefits. Most counties or states have free attorneys that can help you if can't afford one. You can also go set up an appointment with the closest disability office and talk with someone there.

As far as insurance, you won't qualify for Medicare until you have been on disability for 2 years. However, depending on your income you might qualify for Medicaid. The county you live in can tell you whether you qualify and if you do what plan is available to you.

Depends on why type of emg. If they specifically assess the muscles innervated by the pudendal nerve you might gain some valuable information on your diagnosis. However, I went to a neurologist who did an emg of my legs and that was totally worthless for diagnosing pudendal neuralgia.

I understand your fear. I don't think it's typical to have a permanent worsening of symptoms after an emg. At least I don't remember anyone ever posting on the forum that it happened but I guess anything's possible.
