Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - Part 2 Sensory Nerve Conduction Study 

Hello sir. Thanks for sharing. I had an EMG done roughly 3 weeks ago to investigate muscle twitching in my right arm. ( not sure if that was recommended ). The emg was uncomfortable. I jumped at one point during the exam during the NVC part. The examiner apologised. It was over my ulnar nerve. I was told my EMG was normal. Apart from a mild ulnar neuropathy ( velocity 40) I was unaware nor did I have symptoms of neuropathy prior to the exam ever . Now 3 weeks later and i am still having excruciating burning in my palm 5th and 4th digit and shocky feelings in my arm after the EMG, all of which is new to me. Is this normal? Can the emg cause nerve damage ? If so how can I find out? I was told by a colleague that during the needle portion no needles was placed near my ulnar or elbow region. Can the volts during NVC cause nerve damage or irritation that lasts this long ? Are EMG standardised so that the examiner cannot exceed unsafe voltage? And is any of this temporary from your experience? Thank you kindly for any input you may have.
