Question Anyone Please Help!
I have posted before, I am trying to find out about EMG tests.

What am I in for with this test?

How accurate are they? Do they test the muscles also or nerves only?

Any information would be very appreciated.

An EMG is when they put these little needles in your muscle which sends a little electric shock to the muscle. It's used to determine the nerve activity in the muscles.
