nerve conduction velocity test - no lingering pain for weeks

[Guest guest]

Like Deni, I had no lingering pain from my EMG/NCV test, although after

that first test at age 15 I was pretty wiped out emotionally that such

a procedure would be so horrible - I think it took me about a week to

get over that test and then I refused to even go back to the doctor.

After I got home from that first horrible test, my mother had me lie

down on my bed while she placed cool towels on my legs and arms, which

helped me and my electrified nerves calm down, then she gently took

cotton pads and cooled me with an alcohol rub. It was very soothing,

and I finally stopped crying.
