I have been scheduled to have an EMG / NCS on Tuesday. I have read a lot of horror stories about after affects from having this test done. I am so afraid that I will come out of this test with worse problems than I already have. Has anyone had this test done and if so did you have any bad after affects? The doctor is wanting me to have the test done on my left leg, low back, all upper extremities. He has requested this because I was in an auto accident 2 yrs ago that resulted in 2 slightly bulged discs in low lumbar with weakness in left leg with periodic pain. Whole body test seems a bit extreme?
