I keep hearing that emg/nconduction studies trigger burning.

Why on earth do they keep giving these tests, IF THEY TRIGGER BURNING??
Like when I went to my podiatrist and he used that vibrating tool on me and that night MY FEET WENT NUTS. Now I know the podiatrists didn't mean for my feet to go nuts. When he used that vibrating tool on me and I jumped out of the chair he laughed and said "good, good, you've got feeling".

I know that "FEELING" is a good thing, I do know this. But when a person had diabetes, and, as was the case with me, the tips of the toes get numb (I didn't know this at the time),and then I'm diagnosed with neuropathy and then I go to the podiatrist and now he knows I have neuropathy because he ordered special diabetic shoes for me, THEN SHOULDN'T HE HAVE KNOWN NOT TO USE A VIBRATING TOOL ON ME??? Or am I stupid here??

Also, if I do go to Alan's neurologist (for my neuropathy), and she gives me a neurological work up and then she goes 'oh, we'll have to give you a emg/nconduction thing, CAN I SAY "no, I don't want that, I don't want to trigger anything"!!!!! I CAN SAY THIS, RIGHT???
