I'm getting an EMG on my wrists today

[MissMillie]

anyone ever have one done?

What's involved?

1. What is it?

:shrug:

And, obviously, since I don't know, I'm of no use to you here. :)

2. Only heard about EEG, didn't know EMG existed....

but sticking a needle into a muscle sounds not nice.

3. Sticking some pins in you and running electricity through

if I remember correctly. Not particularly painful.
"M" is for muscle, by the way.

4. OOOOOH the needle - that's always fun....

They take a very fine needle and stick it into whatever muscle they need to test, then move it around a bit to "listen" to the electronic noise it makes.

I had a few of them done all over the place. Some doctors are more gentle than others.

It can't possibly be as bad as when I had it done, so smile. :)

5. I have a crushed nerve in my arm and they did that.

They sent current through my arm,there was some kind of graph printout. No biggy,just a couple of probes attached,never felt a thing.
