Shocks and a needle that goes in the Musle and you move around to see how the nerves react to whatever part is being tested me it was my leg ankle and foot area
@Ibh...I am sorry to say I haven't ever had an EMG test. What does this test entail?
Just had EMG today on both legs...and I am in ALOT of pain..can barely walk!😧

If it feels like something is outside of your regular pattern, definitely let the office that did the testing know.
