Joanne: I have had this procedure twice. It's not nearly as dangerous as other invasive procedures like biopsies or surgery. The pain is not-so-bad, somewhat tolerable; but it sure feels good when it's over. No near or long-term side effects.Replied By Cheryl (Ft. Lauderdale, Fl.) on 07/13/2013
I had it done and refused to complete the test. It is extremely painful.Replied By Ray (New York) on 02/27/2014
I had that test done its painful but it tells you how much nerve damage has been done to the nerves. My left leg has worse damage than my right but it hurts. I will never have it done again but try it once to see what your results tell your doctor.Replied By Brian (Lewis Center, Ohio) on 06/24/2015
I had an emg for my PN and it was not anything that I expected it to be. Did not hurt as the needle is so small. Confirmed the neuropathy but couldn't find the cause. I am searching for relief for my feet and I am tired of spending money for something that does not work.
