I am new here and recently received my EMG results from Cleveland Clinic. I hope this post is appropriate, I feel alone and anxious about the entire process and the potential possibility of what it could be or what is even wrong.
The doctor said twitching was likely benign, which I have had consistently for three years now. I have not spoken to the doctor, but instead the assistant. I am worried about the recruitment and number outlined in my results. I have no clinical strength issues at this point. Often my lower right quadricep and outside of knee feel tired through any casual exercise/movement. I appear to have atrophy in the same quadricep region, the doctor did not discount this. There again was no clinical weakness at time of exam. I believe there still is no weakness a month later. My right side bicep feels tight when lifting and will lock up when flexed above the shoulder, with hand near head. I have gone to physical therapy and chiropractic to help alleviate these issues but with no luck.
Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time!
