Hi there
Thank you so much for being there.
I have been experiencing extremity weakness (arms/legs) and had an EMG done.
It came back with:
Absent F wave fibular
R lumbar radiculopathy with active denervation
Left probable cervical radiculopathy with chronic active denervation
Left lumbar radiculopathy with active denervation
But the frightening thing is, my MRI of C-spine and L-spine are clear. No pathology of spine. So there is no injury reason for the denervation.
I'm terrified of ALS. It's the only thing that comes up when you search denervatuin. Are there any other issues or diseases that cause this? MS? CIDP?
Does this sound like ALS? I am having anxiety and am terrified. I know it is something neurological but I'm hoping it is at least something treatable.
I am so sorry. I hope this doesn't sound insensitive. I don't mean it to be.
I have also been having issues with occasional nystagmus, rare fasiculations in arms but it seems mostly when tired, my arms almost feel internally shaky? No tremor. Like I worked out to hard. Legs feel weak in the thigh muscle. Kinda foot drop and trip or shuffle a bit.
Thank you for any information. It means more than I can ever express to you
