- For nerve conduction studies/EMG, you may be asked to avoid caffeine and tobacco for a few hours prior.
- No fasting is typically required unless specifically instructed for blood tests.
Risks & possible complications
- Diagnostic tests like nerve conduction studies may cause brief, mild discomfort similar to a static shock or muscle twitch.
- Minimal risk of minor bruising or soreness at the site where needle electrodes were placed for EMG.
- Very low risk of infection from needle insertion during an EMG.
- Potential anxiety or stress related to the diagnostic process and awaiting results.
- Rarely, nerve conduction studies might be avoided in patients with certain implanted devices or bleeding disorders.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Most diagnostic evaluations, like the clinical exam and history review, require no recovery time.
- After nerve conduction studies or EMG, you can typically resume normal activities immediately.

Had my gallbladder out last week....
Had my gallbladder out last week. The surgery itself was fine, but the first two days after were rough. Dr. Madhumitha was really on top of my pain meds, adjusting them a few times until it was manageable. She checked on me every morning and evening at MGM, which helped a lot. I'm home now and the recovery is going okay, just taking it slow.
