Hi,
A little background, 3 months ago I started having arm spasm in my left arm the pain would come and go and radiate down to my wrist, almost feels as if the funny bone was hit. I went to dr and she thought pinched nerve. Started anti inflammatory things subsided, then I started to twitch and noticed I had reoccurring aches in my legs and arms, flu like feeling, increased acid reflux (which has been a problem since my first pregnancy.
Back to the dr, did extensive bloodwork, came back with positive ANa. Went to rhumeotlogist who ruled out anything and said head to neuro.
Neuro told me it could be transient twitching, MS or ALS. I was taken back, she ordered more labs, 2 MRIs and An EMG. All of which I am waiting on. She told me my exam was normal and I don't notice any weakness or inability to do things I usually do.
Doesn't it seem alarmist to order the EMG? I am now of course concerned and hoping she is just trying to cover and be super through. I didn't think this was a test that was given so quickly. Still have aches and twitching all over.
