I have had several EMG/NC tests done on my arms and legs. They were not painful. The tests measure muscle and nerve response and conductivity to help determine if there is nerve damage. The sensations from the testing feel kind of strange but not painful. The needles that are used look a little scary but if the doctor doing the test is skilled, that's all it is, scary. I just close my eyes as much as possible and do what I am told. Don't worry about it. Just know that it will help to diagnose whatever problem you may be having.
