He used some coloured wires that reminded me of childhood Scalextric and an old Tailor's tape measure that he used to measure the distance between my ankle and knee etc. I actually enjoyed the tests. There was no discomfort at all. Zero. I had to really stop myself laughing at times at the bedside manner of this doctor.

"I was wondering how you found the nerve conduction study... did you find it made your symptoms flare up or not?

I’m really scared to have the test because I’ve read that other people found they were worse after"


After the tests I drove to the golf course and thrashed everyone. I recorded my best round of the year.

There is nothing to worry about regarding the tests. You have to prepare yourself for the staff being covered in PPE and hygiene measures etc. But that is all.

The tests themselves are harmless. They cannot make your symptoms worse. There is no physical means by which they can.

Let us know how you get on.
