I have attached a photo of the area of concern. The dent is on my right foot, better seen by rotating clockwise 90 degrees. My other foot does not have this indentation

That is correct, except the time frame is closer to 2 years. I understand asymetry is common but this is definitely new. I also have significant heel pain which i can only assume is due to added stress to the area. My concern is due to 3 factors: -- Slightly abnormal EMG in feet -- Continual...

37 years old. In May of 2017 I began having fasicularions and my reflexes were described as brisk. My EMG had this snippet: "Increased insertional activity, fibrillation, or positive sharp wave potentials suggestive of active denervation were noted in the bilateral FDI foot muscles in...

Took your suggestion Al, and neuro wrote back tosay that the study was near normal and these nonspecific issues in isolation could be from things as simple as walking. I will follow up with the "active" part of this at my appointment but i am going to (attempt to) close the ALS fear chapter of...

Thanks nikki. I tried to send you a private message of thanks for sharing that personal story but cant figure out how. This forum actually helped me by NOT replying much to my original post as i figured everyone agreed with vincent, and now i have a not perfect EMG so i guess let the waiting...

Would you say that statement holds true even in the early portion of onset? If i didnt have the fasiculations i never would have dreamed ALS based on my symptoms, so i feel like its early. And since you cant get the EMG "too early" i was happy with his diagnosis, but now after reading it im...

While i thought the emg was normal, today a copy came in the mail. "Increased insertional activity, fibrillation, or positive sharp wave potentials suggestive of active denervation were noted in the bilateral FDI foot muscles in isolation" Does this count as abnormal? Anything to worry...

Thank you for your reply. My EMG of legs was done June 2. Bulbar issues started a couple of weeks before that, tongue fasiculations began a few days ago. With that being said, would you believe an EMG of the bulbar area would be prudent, or is this a waste of time since i recently had a clean...
