So,
I finally got my 2nd EMG today and it showed abnormality in my forearm and triceps (bicep and hand was fine) in my left arm. My first EMG, which was conducted three weeks ago was perfectly normal (shows how subjective this whole thing is). Well anyways, the neuro said that he is leaning towards a pinch nerve at this point rather than ALS because with ALS, I would have also showed abnormalities in my bicep. I don't know what to believe anymore but all I know is that I have the following symptoms.
1. Bodywide twitching
2. Cramps
3. Tremors
4. Left hand seems to be thinner (less meat)
5. Shortness of breath that comes and goes
6. Neck stiffness
Ever since I noticed the weakness last month, it hasn't gotten worse so that's good.
Wright or anybody else, what is your take on this?
