Left me with blood spots and big bruises up and down my arms.īut let me say this - it wasn't as bad as a trip to the dentist for some procedure. Hurts more in the hands than in the upper arm. Needles stuck into my muscles about 4 or 5 times in each arm, and then you flex your muscles. Then the doctor came in with the needles for the EMG test. And it didnt hurt any more on the left, sensitive hand than the right. It's like hitting your funny bone over and over again. I think it went on for about 15 minutes per hand. Just a really creepy electrical pulse running through your hand. The nerve conduction test was done with electrodes, no needles, so there wasn't sharp pain. Hounded by my sister who had successful carpal tunnel surgery in both hands, I decided I needed the emg/nc test to see what's going on with my hands. A cortisone shot helped the tendonitis for a few months but the pain came back after I lifted my grandchild's 16 pounds for a week (I'm 59 years old).
