Thank you to the previous posters who reminded me of the hospital rankings, turns out New York Presbyterian in NYC is highly ranked in both rheumatology and neurology, so if the yet to be scheduled new rheumatologist doesn't have much to offer, I will consider them as I live closer to NYC.
I had my upper emg and nerve conduction study today and the neurologist said that they appear mostly normal with no indication of pinched nerves. He said that he had to do additional calculations with the results, as I am sure that is how these things go. One nerve on my left arm was slightly abnormal and he said that he doesn't know what to attribute that to.
An interesting thing I found last night, I had taken an ancestry.com DNA test to find out genealogical information, but turns out that you can download the "raw data" of the DNA test and upload it into other third party apps and sites that will analyze the results and tell you health information about your genes.
There were a few concerning things that showed up, including the fact that I do have some gene mutations that correlate with a higher likelihood of developing certain diseases, including MS. Clearly, I am not a geneticist, but maybe this information may be helpful to my doctors.
