Dear all! I made a post about my concern about month ago! I just wanted to let you know that my emg wasn't quite normal like neurologist told me. I am quite concerned. Please tell me what you think. I'm no expert in these findings...and it drives me crazy! I found that sometimes MND in the begining may present like radiculopathy on EMG.
Neurologist wrote down that he thinks i have C7,C8 T1 mild chronic radiculopathy. But, i have twitching constantly all over my body, and my both forearms have few new dimples in muscles (my right hand has much more plus some tenear atrophy also!) everything started pretty sudden i didn't have any of these dimples two or three months ago. In a matter of month and a half i now see atrophy and feel twithching all the time all over my body...sometimes i feel some mild dull pain everywhere..I had my B12 and folate checked-and it is great. I don't feel like it is radiculopathy...
I tried to translate my emg results ( emg was done 2-3 weeks into problems started):
Abductor digiti minimi, abductor digiti pollicis bilateralis- milder rare intermediar inervation sample with compensatory action potentials, amplitude around 5mV
Extensor digitorum communis bilateralis- normal intermediar inervation sample with compensatory action potentials, amplitude 4-5 mV
Deltoideous,brachioradialis-intermediar inervation sample with some largee and higher action potential.
In all screened muscles there is no clear patologic activity.
My ncs seem ok...i will try to post picture of my ncs resoults.
