Dear all,
i had an emg and ncs because of pain started 2 years ago and fasciculations starting 2 months ago. My doctor said that i Have bilateral cervical and bilateral lumbar radiculopathies.He ordered an MRI to see where are the locations of the pinched nerve.
My question is could als be misdiagnosed as radiculopathy?
I aked him about the twitching and he said is a common syptom of radiculopathy.But the thing is i have them on belly and face as well.But the truth is i had those after o notice and worries about twiching to be honest.So i dont know what to make of it.
Also what if someone both have radiculopathies and als?
Does anyone know what difference lead the neurologist to believe its not als but radiculopathy?
also i noticed mouth paresthesia like buzzing or tingling in mouth and tongue?does this has anything to do with als or are this is how tongue fasciculations feel like?
Thank you
