I was just curious if anyone had the EMG test done before? I am having one in 2 weeks to check my nerve and muscle function. I saw my pain doc today and he set it up to see if they can find anything. So when he mentioned that they use these little needles I was like What?? lol I'm a bit nervous about it and just want to know what I'm in store for.

I've had one, but it was a long time ago. It was pretty unpleasant. Maybe they've found a way to make it less painful by now.

I had it done years ago - when I was a teenager. It wasn't fun but not terrible. Certainly not painful.
