I just had one a week ago. The doctor sticks needles in your muscles various places, like your forearm, between your index finger and thumb, and I forget where else. He said the needles are only a little larger than acupuncture needles. It didn't make me bleed I don't think. Then he makes you move your muscles, like by pressing against the doctor's hand or something. And it's connected to a machine with a squiggly line. The nerve conduction test is where he puts stickers on your fingers and various places on your arms and shocks you. Sometimes for larger shocks, it makes your hand jump. My tests only lasted like 15 minutes. They didn't do my neck. I had read how people thought it was painful, so I was kind of nervous, but it wasn't bad at all really. The first shocks seem worse because you don't know what to expect. But mostly you just feel a twinge, like your nerves are guitar strings and they are plucking them. For the EMG, you only feel it when he first puts the needle in, and it's not as bad as having blood drawn or anything. It didn't even hurt afterwards really except for one of the pin pricks.
