I had a phone call to tell me I have an appointment on 4th December for this. I remember from a recent thread - Trisher, I think, that EMG is the electromyography, but does anyone know what the other one is?

They're putting all the info in the post for me, but I won't get it until next week and I'm curious...........

    Hi I googled it and its an Nerve conduction test. Its similar to the emt, but its a needle instead of an electrode. Its only a tiny needle, my husband had it to test his foot beause he had a strange feelings in it! He was fine, nothing found and test was 'OK' he said! :lol: Love Sue

    one was what you have there which was wires put in my case my fingers arms wrists. They moved them about and you get a mior shock like TENs machine. I had that one. It's alright Annie.

    The other one is I cannot remember the name. I go for this next week I think it is They put fine needles into you legs arms ect. Mine will be the hands and fingers.
    It is something to do with the muscle. I think that is where the needles go.

    Someone had it done, her hubby. I think it's on my Thread about EMG/NCS.

    Annie Google it. You will know then ps Nerve Conduction I just rememberd it.

    When you have the NC one done you have to move about a bit. They put the needles in various places. Is it your legs. The person on my thread said that her hubby had to move about a bit. They move the needles.

    I remember she said that he was tired afterwards. I think she said 2 hours. That is all I can remember any more at moment,
