Hello everyone
I have multiple diagnosis's.
Dx: Atrophy of frontal and temporal lobes (1999)
Parkinsonism (2002)
Small fibre peripheral neuropthy (2002 Sweat test and Surel Nerve Biopsy)
Axonal degenerating sensory polyneuopathy (2008)
Gastroparesis
My chief complaint today is Right heel pain for the last 3 months.
Prior EMG's have been negative
Results of EMG done (Oct 2008):
Right median motor study normal.
Right peroneal motor and right tibial motor conduction study is not signicantly abnormal.
Right tibial distal motor latency normal.
Right abductor hallucis motor response was of normal amplitude.
EMG of right peroneus longus and right tibialis anterior normal.
EMG of the right medial gastorcnemius showed mild chronic neurogenic change with motor unit potentials increased in the amplitude.
1+ fasciculation was present in the right abductor hallucis.
No active denervation was present in the right abductor hallucis.
Conductions Studies result (Oct 2008)
Right median and ulnar parm to wrist sensory latency is normal with normal sensory amplitudes.
Right superficial peroneal sensory response normal. Left sural sensory response normal.
In the right leg, the sural sensory respone was absent but this related to her previous sural nerve biopsy. Right superficial peroneal sensory was not detected.
The doctor noted:
The only weakness the doctor could detect was weakness of the right great toe extension and right plantar flexion. Deep tendon reflexes were 1+ and symmetric being hypoactive at the right ankle.
Slight atrophy of the right posterior calf muscles and a small area of very focal subcutaneus lipoatrophy over the right lateral leg.
No other wasting of the thigh left leg. Tone normal.
The doctor suggests that I have an Xray and or bone scan of my foot.
My grandfather became ill at age 53 and by age 57 died mute and motionless.
I am 53 now and am anxious about my symptoms especially since I have Frontotemporal atrophy.
Is this slightly abnormal EMG anything to worry about?
Thanks in advance for your help.
