I first posted in late 2012 with my first twitch (among other symptoms). I have since had 5 EMG's over the past 2 years..all "clear". I twitch more all over, feel weaker, but pass clinical weakness testing. (Perceived weakness I guess) I also have constant pressure headache with clear post nasal drip and terrible new "floaters" in my right eye.
My question is.. My last EMG was clear, but the Nerve conduction said mild/moderate carpal tunnel in both hands (which explains my new stiffness and twitching in thumbs). Wouldn't the EMG portion of the test detect the carpal tunnel? Am I still in the clear with clean EMG but problem with NCS? What is the difference between the results of NCS and EMG?
ps. Anyone have chronic pressure headache with diagnosis? Any input greatly appreciated.
