I had an EMG on my arms back in the early 90s. I'm also scheduled to get one again at the end of April when I go see the neuro because I wake up a lot of times at night with numb hands and arms. He's going to do the EMG to see if it's carpal tunnel (which I do have a history of) or if it's something from my brain. (ever see "Young Frankenstein", I've wondered if I'm related to "AbbyNormal" Brain)

From what I remember, it's just little electric shocks, that dont really hurt, it just makes your fingers twitch...might make your wrist twitch a little too. I dont remember it being that painful the last time I had it done...I was seriously intrigued by it. I thought it was actually kind of neat...but, then I probably am AbbyNormal.
