Just curious about all of the weird threads you have to keep deleting, with nonsensical titles...is this just someone messing around??

Maybe I'm missing something - if all of your muscles are atrophied, how can you do all of the things you describe, like running, etc.? That simply wouldn't be possible. Also, what other investigation did your neurologist recommend? Sounds to me like some, or potentially all, of your issues...

Hi there, Ugh, your appointment sounds very frustrating! Hope the next one actually answers some questions for you. I'm certainly no carpal tunnel expert, but my aunt had surgery for it a couple of years ago, and she definitely had atrophy around the thenar area of her hand. Apparently this...

Hi Kimberly - I've had a total of 7 EMG tests done, so if you have any questions at all, please feel absolutely free to PM me any time. What I can tell you is that there are certain things that show up in the results that can either rule out (or not) the disease. You will see the activity on the...

hi there - just came across your posts, and am wondering if you've gotten any answers? your story is a little similar to mine (you can read my posts, I won't get into a whole long thing here), and I'm desperately scared. here's hoping it turns out well for both of us :)

hey matt - thanks for contacting me! yeah, still having problems. have been told it's a rotator cuff issue that probably started a little over a year ago, got a little better when I stopped doing my push ups, etc, and was then re-aggravated a couple of months back. as you might expect, i'm...

I was really hoping to get over this and not need to post here. But I haven't. Very short synopsis as I have posted before - left shoulder weakness. No issues with the rest of the arm. Unfortunately, did a search for whether or not ALS can begin in the shoulder alone, and apparently it can...

Thanks, Sadie. They do believe its a rotator cuff issue of some sort, that I didn't treat properly last year, and thus has returned. I realize that progression is,usually distal to proximal, but I know,it's not always that way, which is why I was concerned. I actually did have an EMG done...

Thanks for the reply. Did some research and am going to try to be reasonable about this. Rotator cuff strains/tears appear to cause weakness and are not always accompanied by pain. Here's hoping that is my issue. I suppose I should also focus on the fact that I had this very same issue last...

Coles Notes version of my story: Began twitching in Sept 2011, have been worried about various areas of my body since then. Multiple EMGs of my request, all fine. A year ago at this time, was experiencing left shoulder discomfort, and perceived weakness. Had two EMGs by two different...
