My EMG was TERRIBLE. I have instructed all medical professionals that in the future, they need to tell patient that they are being sent to be TORTURED. That was the second worst painful thing I have ever experienced. I would prefer natural childbirth to an EMG. I was sore and bruised and had additional nerve pain for almost a week!
