Hello everyone,
I recently had an EMG/NCV study of both legs and parts of the spine. I feel stupid for posting here as i am sure the "abnormal study" reading on the bottom is something far less sinister than ALS. I just have no idea what the results mean as i don't know much about the subject.
I am a 33 year old male with the following symptoms for a few months.
1 - Continuous tightness in the back of my left leg. With pain some days, without on others.
2 - Twitching that started out in the left leg but has spread to other areas of the body.
3 - Bi-lateral hyperreflexia discovered by my neurologist during exam.
4 - Perceived weakness but not correlated in the neuro exam.
For further reference i have had "Normal" blood work as well as "Normal" MRI of the lumbar/cervical/thoracic spine.
Unfortunately my neurologist isn't able to read me my results as she is on leave for quite some time. However the doctor that preformed the test did send me the PDF of the results as well as the summary on the bottom. I know that everyone's time here is very valuable, if however anyone has a moment to look over the summary i would appreciate it. If not then God bless and i hope your days are going well.
Ive attached a copy of the summary here. If the actual charts are needed please let me know.
Thanks
