Former thread: https://www.alsforums.com/forum/do-i-have-als-als/32908-results-my-emg-update.html Hello again, It's been 2 months since my EMG testing which according to doctor didn't show signs of mnd, though it felt rushed and in my right leg she kept saying 'keep it steady' which I thought...

Hey Pernille, Yes, but it doesn't seem the neuro-phys will continue to follow me now, only seems like they did the EMG and then I will be sent back to Herlev, which I don't want anything more to do with. If that's the case, then I'll get a new referal from a new doctor to Riget or maybe...

Hello everyone, Good news. This was my previous thread: https://www.alsforums.com/forum/do-i-have-als-als/31835-one-sided-muscle-atrophy-scared-death-als-2.html I thought I'd give an update to you folks and to update for present and future google searchers. I had my 'proper' EMG done a few...

Hi Pernille, to Rigshospitalet now.

Ok, back again, saw the neuro at the (non neurophysiological) department who has been following me. He finally at last referred me to the real specialists at the neuromuscular department but that is going to be maybe 2 months wait. Since last time some unpleasent things happened, which I hope...

Tillie, can you expand why it doesn't show signs? I am worried because I didn't get right arm tested, nor my lumbar region and right thigh, where I also seem to have atrophy.

Ok, report back. Results below, keep in mind I am translating this so something may not be correctly translated, please ask if so. 07-03-2016: Tested: left vastus medialis (above left knee) and right biceps brachii Conclusion: EMG By test of each muscle of around 10 different positions...

Nicki, it was during the EMG part, I also had a ncs study done. It was during the EMG he did the part where he shocked the nerve, so I jumped and then he looked at the response.

Ok, so I had the EMG today which was only on the shoulder muscles because of the referral. Not clean EMG unfortunately, I am waiting on the full report and will post it here. He tested my strength which I think he found normal, quite a thorough strength test, but he didn't say much. He then saw...

Mike, I know, but the neurologist saw be months ago and didn't look at my shoulder. I don't think I had visible atrophy there. I KNOW I had atrophy in the beginning of February since a physioterapist commented on it:( The doc doing the EMG only took bicep (no atrophy) and left knee (no...

Now I noticed I also have atrophy in right tricep, there is a dent there too when holding the arm in a certain position and I am also quite sure the inner deltoid muscle on the same side is much softer than on the left. I am really beginning to worry. I have begun lifting weights again to try...

Hey guys, Back here again, still worrying, because the atrophy in my shoulder area is very pronounced now. It looks like this: The problem is my lower back muscles on the same side are also atrophied and recently I began gettting fasciculations in the muscle between my thumb and index...

Good news for now! I was at the EMG appointment yesterday. Private hospital (most is government here) with a doctor who had 20 years experience in neurophysiology. Had him first look at the atrophy in my back, he said it was 'slightly less' only. Told me he couldn't test it and didn't worry...

I read up on symptoms of high arched feet (pes cavus) and I am now very sure that my knee pain and back pain is the cause of it. I have all the symptoms of pes cavus such as very hard calluses on heels and heel pain along with tense calfs. I only hope this is some benign reason for it. My twin...

Hi Mike, Thank you for your reply. I have an EMG on monday and very nervous. What also bothers me still is that I do not walk well. There's always some problem, a limp, swaying, stumbling, pain, stiffness, but what is worse is just standing where I feel unsteady, often feel like falling...
