Has anyone had nerve conduction studies r/t carpal tunnel or ulnar nerve compression? I just returned from my PCP office, and she's setting me up for them. I've heard they're painful...

I had an EMG (if that's what you're referring to) to test for CTS a couple of months ago. Wasn't too bad. I think I need to go back for a repeat since my symptoms have gotten much worse!

Good luck!
