I had an EMG test done last fall and it was $926 all in between the test, the hospital charge and the doctor's reading fee. The test wasn't bad ... just a series of slight shocks and I couldn't even feel the skin pricks from the sensors.
Depending on what those results indicate you could also be looking at a catscan of your back. In my case the EMG came back negative so I had the scan of my back done and it showed disc issues with L4/L5 (IIRC) which wwere impacting the nerves running down to my feet.
My symptoms were burning/tingling through-out my feet, not just my toes.
Hopefully some physical therapy to strengthen your back and core are all it will take to minimize the pain/discomfort so you can avoid the meds. Also keep an eye on your posture if you sit for extended periods ... I had several "experts" show me how to sit with my back and feet at 90 degrees with my thighs parallell to the ground.
Good luck !
