Hi all - I am a 22 y/o male (I know).
For the past few years, I have had issues with my left side. I pulled something near my shoulder and endured the worst pain of my life. Afterward, I had Carpal Tunnel-esque symptoms, with numbness in my fingers. I worse a wrist guard at night.

First and foremost, thank you for reading my post. I am in need of some help.
About 6 months ago, I started feeling some weakness on my thumb, index, and middle fingers. They were also cramping up. I went to a neurologist and he did an emg. This were the results:

I am a 38-year old female. Over the past couple months, I’ve had some concerning symptoms and am hoping some of you can shed some light on whether they may be indicative of ALS. My right forearm and bicep feel very week and are easily fatigued and often sore as if I’ve done an intense workout...

Well I guess it was bound to happen. We went out to dinner with a friend last night. I ordered a nice cold pint of beer to go with my meal. As I was about to take my first, glass raising to my mouth, my wrist collapsed and emptied half of the pint down my chest and into my lap. :shock:
