Hey thanks guys. I really appreciate all your feedback - it's made me feel a lot less nervous than I have been. Please be aware that if I find it agonising you're ALL going to be in trouble!! Big trouble! ha, ha. (:

Glad for the anonymity on NT so I don't get into BIG trouble.

I had to laugh. That was so cute. Let's hope that the positive responses you got in this thread regarding the test prove to be the case for YOU and that we are not in big trouble.

Wishing you an easy test and that the results are informative and helpful.

The real fear is not the possibility of pain, but the fear of an unknown experience. Once the test is behind you, then you can judge for yourself how it was for YOU. Hope you will be posting to someone else in the future that YOU found it OK.

LOVED your post.

i have had 8 emg/ncs's since 2003on my feet, legs, hands, arms andlower back. although i wouldnt do the tests for enjoyment, they are not that bad and i wouldnt hesitate to do another. as a matter of fact i am doing just that very soon as part of a voluntary study. there are some moments of discomfort but aree of very short duration in the overall test and certainly they were bareable for me. its not something i worry about before doing the test.
