 I had an EMG test but I do not remember being shocked so many times in the same spot. There were spots that were close together, but not exactly the same apot.

I had some agrevated areas after the tests but they don't remember having any extended painful areas.

 The first test I had wasnt this bad. I use heat and that distracts the pain sometimes.

 When I had my EMG test done I had severe pain for two weeks following the test. I think it is normal to flare up after a test since your body is being shocked so many times.
