If you have RSD, does the nerve conduction test ALWAYS show it? Is it a situation where it may or may not show something because if that's the case, I don't see why I should put myself through torture if it's not necessarily helpful.

A nerve conduction test will NEVER show RSD...it just might show something else. I've had one done and it was uncomfortable and painful...but luckily no spread. Definitely consider this test as carefully as you would any invasive treatment. If they really think it's something else then it might be worth it but if it's just to "confirm" RSD then there are safer ways to go about that without risking spread.
