Hi everyone:

The first time I had an EMG in my legs, it didn't hurt. Then I recently had a second one and boy, did that hurt! Felt like electric shocks. Has anyone else had this experience? I don't know if that means the nerves are working right or wrong. And does anyone know that answer? My doctor thinks I do not have peripheral neuropathy, but that the pain in my legs and back is from a couple of bulging lumbar discs. I don't have any foot burning or numbness in my feet or legs.
