Hello everyone.
I finally had my EMG.
Muscles tested were muscles of the four limbs.
I have a doubt. I forgot to say to the neuro who made the EMG that I see some alterations in the thenar muscles of the left hand, so the only hand muscle tested (left and right) was the first dorsal interosseous (which I see as a normal and not atrophied muscle).
Muscles examined were normal and OK.
But...My question is... is it possible that this EMG could have missed ALS just because the thenar muscles were not examined?!
I am very frustrated because I forgot to tell the neurologist about the thenar muscles and now i'm afraid that this could mean that wrong muscles have been examined and so that the EMG could have missed ALS.
