Hi everyone, I have posted about a month ago and I was wondering if anyone might have some input. I have been having some problems with my speech, not that anyone notices, only me. I also have some atrophy in my leg, which the first two neuros said was not atrophy. Today I had a appointment in Boston by a top ALS neuro. She noted that I do have atrophy in my leg and also noted that my reflexes were all vey brisk (which none of the othe neuros have noted) She ordered a emg which was done today, My dr said she would call me tomarow with the results, but the dr who did it said that "nothing jumped out on it, I specifically asked his about ALS and he said that it usually doesn't present itself this way. I was very concerned about my brisk reflexes and she asked if anyone had ever told me that before. Also saw a speech pathologist and she notised nothing abnormal. Does anyone know if brisk reflexes could be normal? Is this something I should be worried about? I plan on asking the dr tomarrow when she calls, just really nervous, any input would be appriciated
I have had two previous clean EMG's
