Painful or not, I wish I knew why we are doing the test and what we are looking for. I think I would prefer a pedicure and call it a day.

My PN is like that, progressing to hands and arms. I also have the pins and needle feeling on my upper back, kind of like the sunburn feeling. I have almost two months before my nerve study, so I can hear if you survived..
I would think the nerve conduction is for gauging how damaged the large fiber electrical system is doing... We call it I. The electrical field as a "high resistant connection", so if the myelin sheath is damaged, it will slow down the signal. To bad they can't re-wire us yet...
