Thanks to everybody for your posts. And agree that I should find another Neuro, he is not giving me any answer and after 5 min meeting with him (or even less) he stands up and leaves the office and I have to follow him to the reception area and finish my questionnaire there...not really...
Yes, Gilwest, I know that, but just wondering if this finding (or not finding anything with the MRI of the L5) is still within the scope of polyneuropathy or another thing. Thanks for your comments
Well, you are right Atsugi, just wanting to know if anyone can give me a clue about this since neither my neuro responds anything nor finding info on the internet about this issue of having EMG showing L5 and then the MRI came normal. Thanks anyway for your comments and sorry
Thanks Nikki for your quick and kind response. Two questions:
1. A bad NCS even mainly motor rules out ALS?
2. I do not understand why I have the tibialis denervated with fascics and according to the EMG L5 radiculopathy but MRI went back normal. Could it be realted to something in the horn...
Hi, I had abnormal NCS and EMG with findings of left L5 Radiculopathy, moderate TCS, EMG done in all extremities with diffuse distal denervation consistent with polyneuropathy and focal denervation in the tibialis anterior muscle. NCS showed slow motor nerve conduction in the 4 nerves tested...
One more thing: with my diagnosis of polyneuropathy does it exclude the als or maybe it can develop in ale in the future with acute signs of current findings? Thanks
I have one more question if I may...I realized that after moving the muscles of the calves At Both legs it starts to fasciculate for several minutes. At these muscles is where I have the denervation (tibialis anterior muscle). Is it also compatible with polyneuropathynorneomething else...
Thanks again Nikki, I also had in the EMG and NCV report reduced amplitude in both median motor nerves. Does it change anything? Sorry to bother you but just wanted to be sure and forgot to say that in my previous mails
Nikki, thanks for your quick reply, and Im so sorry to hear that happens to you. I will pray for you and your family and all the affected people with this.
But denervation doesnt mean a sympthom of ALS?
Thaks again
