Getting my emg after scheduling took two months after a neurologist insisted I see a neuromuscular neurologist for specialized emg.
I am going September 5th.
I had a few right arm peripheral nerve surgeries for weakness and some atrophy but then my atrophy weakness progressed.
My right upper whole thoracic/ shoulder is atrophied scapula and shoulder is subluxed out of socket rolled forward at this point. I was chasing getting a scapula surgery done back in February but then I started having more symptoms outside of my arm that I noticed more. I look back a year ago I started having weakness in my leg and trouble driving with my right foot. Then I noticed I couldn’t really walk around my house without shoes on because of my right foot idk just felt off weak. Then I started tripping because of it. But didn’t really think too much of it idk why. So in February I had a redo arm surgery thinking scar tissue was causing my weakness to persist. Anyways since then I’ve developed trouble swallowing, more weakness, and at this point it’s August my hand and arm is so atrophied it’s barely useable no joke difficult holding my phone. I just am waiting been in limbo for the most part. I
I’ve been having fasciculations but didn’t really think too much about it until now as I’m awaiting for the emg with neuromuscular specialist. Wish I could post a video of it
