Well, an EMG certainly isn't up there on my list of favorite things, that's for sure, but I've had worse too.

As my orthopedist is fond of telling me whenever I ask whether something is going to hurt, "What you're about to feel is nothing compared to all you've already been through!"

I think it partly depends on where you're having the EMG and what your injury is, to be honest. It's a good diagnostic tool though, especially if you're showing some deficiency, so they can track your long-term progress.

Here's hoping it's "just" an entrapment. Please keep us posted.
