Junie,
The test is uncomfortable, but the test leaves no lasting pain. They use very short electrical zaps and while I don't like them, I certainly never thought of screaming. It isn't something any of us like but it is necessary for the doctors to find out what is wrong and how extensive the nerve problem is. I understand your pain because we all share the same problem. I've had about three of these and also one on my hands. And if they tell me I need another one, I'll do it. Also, I've never read or heard of anyone being given anything for pain for this test.
