Hi Steff:

I had head to toe EMG/Nerve Conduction studies when I first got sick. These were highly abnormal and extremely painful to me. In comparison, the one I had done in the hospital took about 5 minutes and showed nothing...

This is not to say that I would recommend head to toe, because some of us seem very sensitive to this testing.

If your pain is the result of sensory nerve problems though, I think that a punch biopsy (intrapidermal skin biopsy) is more revealing than these tests...
