Anyway I'm soon to go for Emg/Ncv tests and I am scared this will exaggerate the pain in my already sore hands has anyone felt the needles or small shocks have made their rsd worse either temporarily or more prolonged. Ok I need to go for now as my hands feel like there in a furnace.

Thanks G
I have CRPS type 2 in my left ankle/foot and has spread into my leg up to my lower back and I have to get this done also. I have the same worries. I am wondering if you have had it done yet? My pain level is normally 9-10 every day.
