Nerve conduction studies

Hi, does anyone have any experience of nerve conduction studies. I'm due to have one tomorrow after my neurologist said my reflexes were brisk. She didnt explain what that means.
I also have an mri next week. I have been having a number of weird skin sensations such as numbness and pins and needles and balance issues. I also have low b12 and have had trigeminal neuralgia for 10 years.

I had nerve conduction studies on my arms and legs, it was unpleasant but not unbearable.

I had them on my arms after complaining of stiff joints in my hands on waking - GP suspected carpal tunnel. The tests were a weird sensation but made me a bit giggly rather than being in discomfort - HCP doing the tests said she got a range of reactions from laughing to shouting and swearing. Shock The tests were done pretty quickly.
