  My doctor referred me in mid may to have the EMG test, the one where they insert a long needle into the muscles, suspected carpal tunnel syndrome. Just wondered if it hurts, and how bad. Can you describe your own experience please, and tell me if it hurts worse than a flu shot/blood test, much more, a bit more, the same...Keep in mind this is NOT just a nerve conduction study, but the part with the needles... not just electrodes. I bet many people in this forum had it done. Would love to hear...
