They diagnosed nerve damage through mine and I have had over 5 now and actually find it fascinating how the nerves jump! Think it just depends on people’s pain thresholds mines seem to be quite high as the women doing the test actually said I deserved a medal for not even going ouch as she’s actually had older people cry! (Wish I was as ammune to EM! Lol) ---

Oh, the electric shocks!! I only get them in the soft part under the bone on the outside edge of my feet between sole and ankle. It is one of the worst things painwise for me and has brought me to tears on occasion. Don't get it every flare but dread it happening.

I've had the EMG and needle test. Neither one was particularly painful but everyones pain threshold is different. I'm a male, but from what I've read women have higher pain thresholds then men. Might have something to do with being the birther of the species ;) But yeah, the EMG test was pretty cool. I'm like being poked and prodded though :) ---

And to the original discussion. I used to have these pains all the time too, not sure why they stopped. Now its a constant aching but I'm' not on them as much as I used to be. . ---

I was the same, I found it fascinating how the nerves jumped 🙂 especially when all the toes do! Amazing test if you find stuff like that interesting… Lol! [Previous page](https://forum.livingwitherythromelalgia.org/t/burning-tingling-electricshocks-thru-feet/81.md?page=1)
