I recently had a nerve test done. They start by sending electrical currents throe different nerves. Then they use needles to observe muscle reactivity.
On a normal person this is not such a big deal. On anFMS patient...this was torture.
Each electrical current was the same feeling as hitting ur funny bone. Do that 30 times and see how it feels.
Then they poke long thin needles in different muscles and tell how to move the muscle while the needle is in place. Was fighting back tears... Then she poked my calf muscle and my whole body locked up.
I couldn't move or even speak. The pain went all the way up my back. My mother in law(thank God for her) helped me to sit up. When did I bawled like a baby.
I'd have to say that was the worse pain I've ever experienced (and that's saying a lot)
This test was recommended by a neurologist. Who then confirmed that I needed to seek help for my chronic pain issues (data).
Moral of the story....don't ever have a nerve function orEMG done if u have FMS...
