Any Idea of what a abnormal right radial sensory nerve showing reduced amplitude means?

Here are my EMG results. The Dr who ran it, is not an ALS specialist but says because F-wave latencies and EMG of left side did not show significant abnormalities. Therefore pointing away from ALS. I did have an abnormal right radial sensory nerve, showing amplitude of 13.5. all other nerves...

youre absolutely right. my apologies.

The last thing i am going to do at neuro is to ask “is it als”. I am just going to tell them how I’m feeling and ask what i can do to actually get out and do things again. Tbh i just want to bring my kids to the park and not feel like dog [edited].

Also, Thank you for your kind replies.

The thing is, i was having all these symptoms pre covid. So right now my mind is trying to convince itself this is all related. I've tried back and forth to look for other explanations. Except a neuro. The neuro dismissed me 5 years ago after an MRI and weakness test. left hand perceived...

They put me on PPI for Silent reflux a month ago. seems like it got worse. Still taking it though. I too have stomach issues. This has been a long road. I just feel like covid sped things up. Thanks for the replies.

hey guys. still on the waiting list here. Just wanted to update. feel my condition is getting worse. now, once was a sore throat after covid has turned into what feels like my throat is permanently open. I have not choked on anything yet but i can feel it affecting my breathing when I lay...

I’ll also say, she said congratulations on the sobriety.

Update. I did not have clinical weakness. But she did detect an action tremor in my left hand when doing the finger to nose finger to hand test. This was just PCP. Getting referred to neurologist which she said is 6 months out. Hopefully symptoms don’t worsen by then :(

Thanks guys for the reassurances. Will definitely update when i do get a diagnosis. Cheers to sobriety. Don’t miss it one bit.

My apologies. I will be going to gp soon to clarify. I am not trying to upset anyone. My apologies if it came off as that. Thank you for your comments.

When I say I feel incredibly weak, I mean that my hands like give out. For instance, I was trying to take a picture on my phone with my left hand, I could hold the phone but I could not press the button to take the picture. I was like shaking and weak trying to stretch my finger to the button. I...

Thanks for the well wishes. I should say that my left arm today is incredibly weak. It shakes if I do some simple task. Only my left hand. I work in an office and something as little as putting a folded piece of paper in an envelope can be grueling. Again I can get it done, I just feel my arm...

I have been up front with my PCP on how much I drank. He always would say, lose weight and stop drinking and walks out of the room. I know Dr Google always leads people here. I am going to a new PCP soon. Just waiting to switch over my insurance now.
