Hi
I'm 33 YO Male thin but athletic.
- since almost 12 months I feel some strange involuntary move in my tongue and ring in the ear.
- since almost 7 months fascics in my inner right foot began and shortly spread all over my body but it is still most intense in initial location.
- I'm pretty active person but since 7 months ago I fell shaky shortly after starting physical activity. And I'm not as sharp as I used to be in my moves and things I used to do with my hands.
- Deep tendon reflexes brisk on both knees...
- Also my feet response intensely to any un expected minor physical contact. It is bilateral.
- I do press unconsciously on my outer side of foot while standind. I notice this and correct It, but this correction doesn't last more than a minute! Looks to me some compensation for innerfoot weakness where some atophy is visible. This problem appeared since less than a year ago...
- And some right knee joint pain and stiffness I beleve could be due to weakness of muscles in that area.
An EMG conducted 4 month ago BUT only on 7 muscles: Quadriceps, Tibialis Anterirors, Biceps (all both sides), and under my chin, ALL CAME CLEAR (even in the time being conducted there was no twitches present in those muscles).
Since the muscles examined were not the ones bothering me all the time I suspected that the exam results would not be reliable enough. And now 4 month after EMG my twitches are worse and foot weakness more noticable and some visible atrophy and sometimes minor pain on my right foot slightly above my toe. (Image attached)
Since some people say conducting EMG and finding PSWs & Fibrilations is kind of art and needs patience, SHOULD I INSIST ON ANOTHER EMG ON MUSCLES NEAR ATROPHY SITE? (Maybe by someone else!)
REGARDS
