A member asked:

Does a vaginal needle emg usually hurt?

Dr. Robert Kent answered

Specializes in Physical & Rehabilitation Medicine

Yes: It can be very uncomfortable. Emg's are always uncomfortable, and the more nerve endings in the area the EMG is being performed, the more painful it tends to be. However, remember, the EMG is going to help with the diagnosis and treatment plan and the pain is very short lived. I wish you the best of luck and hope this helps.

A member asked:

Is it possible to get a nerve conduction test & not an EMG? I have very severe anxiety with needles & the only way I would be able to do an emg is if I was knocked out. My occupational therapist thinks I may have trapped nerves on ulnar side?
