Please follow these steps to be ready for an EMG:

• On the test day, take a bath or a shower and thoroughly wash your arms and legs to eliminate any remaining body oils.
• Avoid using creams, bath oils, or lotions.
• Dress comfortably and loosely, and don't forget to pack shorts and a shirt with short or no sleeves.

You're free to eat and drink as usual.

• You can notice some muscle soreness at the insertion area following the EMG. 
• It is typical and usually lasts a day or two.

You should avoid the following things before an EMG:

• Three hours or more before the surgery, avoid smoking.
• After cleaning, avoid using any creams or lotions.

Signs of nerve damage:

• Hands and feet are burning or feeling numb.
• You have the sensation of wearing a tight glove or sock.
• Weakness in your muscles, particularly in your arms or legs.
• Dropping things you're holding all the time.
• Your hands, arms, legs, or feet hurt sharply.
• A faint electrical shock-like buzzing feeling.

EMG frequently results in pain because the process uses needles and electric shocks.

The test may require five or more needle insertions.

Typically, the exams last 60 to 90 minutes.
