Hi -

I've had an EMG done twice now, both times in conjunction with a nerve conduction study. I agree with the others that it's not too bad. The doctors who administer the tests are generally very eager to make the patients as comfortable as possible during the test and keep you at ease. That's been my experience. There may be a few uncomfortable moments, but they are very short. When I go, I focus on my breathing and keep thinking of good, pleasant, peaceful things - maybe a place I enjoy like the beach, or the mountains! That helps me feel peaceful during the test and I think it helps. Good luck to you!

Take care,
