I'm booked to have a nerve conduction study done at the hospital in several weeks. I wondered if other people have had this kind of test. I'm anxious about it as a friend of mine had the same test several years ago and said it was agony. She's ex-military and not someone to be phased by pain. It was so painful to her that she screamed and insisted the test be stopped immediately.

I'm well aware that everyone has different responses to various medical procedures and maybe for whatever reason it was particularly painful for her. In addition to my concern about that I'm worried it might trigger a big kick back later. I have very severe neuropathy and my body does not follow the normal patterns for many people experiencing this type of pain. The medical people spend a lot of time puzzling over what's happening for me and the way something pretty minor can result in debilitating pain.

Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you.
