Hi I'm 43. I've being having a tingly feeling in my legs for over 2 and a half yrs now, sometimes feels like it's slightly vibrating feeling. Sometimes burning and aching feeling in my tighs.no other symptoms. Had an emg done in May which showed right hand side denervation in the soleus muscle where there was positive sharpwaves with polyphasic motor units, similarly the gastrocnemius muscle showed positive sharpwaves with polyphasic motor units. On the left hand side the gastrocnemius muscle alone showed positive sharpwaves but these were not sustained. The paraspinal screen on the right and left were normal with no particular involvement of the lower multifidus muscle. The findings were that of a bilateral s1 nerve root irritation however there is no findings in the paraspinal muscle so there was a possibility of compartment syndrome. I've since had a pressure test to rule this out. I had the first emg in May and on the 23rd September started having leg twitching mostly in the left leg but still in both. I'm so anxious since being giving a date for second emg to rule out stuff. I'm having random twitches in my arms, back, butt, lip, and tongue, but not like my legs I have them everytime I sit, but the others are only here and there now and again. Today for the first time my left arm felt tingly and my fingers felt weak, so I panicked and tryed to pick up a pen which I did but my fingers felt like they dident have full power. Its fine sínce but still feels tingly. I have allready a small child who's disabled so I'm so anxious trying to find and answer to my symptoms. Dose this sound like I've als, has anyone similar symptoms or any answer to the findings to my emg.
Thanks so much for reading.
