Some doctors give Valium before EMGs... so I don't think the
Xanax will be a problem.
I had EMGs in my arms, when my carpal tunnel was terrible, and it wasn't bad. But it depends on the person.
I can't address the pain meds, since people are all different and respond differently. You'd have to discuss this with your doctor.
Good luck.
