Finally got the test today and here are my results.
NCT:
Peroneal.R
ankle 5.1 MS (latency) 7.5 mV amplitude
Fibula Head 11.2 MS (latency) 7.3 mV amplitude
Ankle-Fibula Head 6.1 ms (lat. Diff.), 47m/s Conduction volicity
Popliteal Fossa 14.9 MS (Latency) 2.0 mV amplitude 2.0
Fibula Head-Politeal Fossa 3.7ms, 30M/s conduction volcity
Tibial.R
Ankle 4.4 ms (latency) 11.6 mV amplitude
Popliteal Fossa 12.2 ms (latency) 13.0 mV
Ankle- Popliteal Fossa 7.8ms 47m/s conduction velocity
Peroneal.Left
Ankle 5.7 MS (latency) 5.4 Mv
Fibula (head) 12.0 (latency) 5.2 Mv
Popliteal Fossa 15.0 ms (latency) 1.5 Mv
Ankle-Fibula (head) 6.3 MS (lat. Diff.) 46 m/s conduction velocity
Fibula (head)- Popliteal Fossa 3.0 Ms (lat. Diff.), 27 m/s conduction velocity
Sensory Nerve Conduction
Sural.R
Lower Leg 3.9 ms (peak Lat) 10uV amplitude
Ankle-Fibula (head) 6.3 ms (lat. Diff.) 4uV amplitude
Ankle-Lower Leg 3.9 ms (lat. Diff), 45 m/s conduction velocity
ANkle Lower leg 3.9 ms (lat. diff), 42 m/s conduction velocity
Needle EMG results Insertional Spontaneous Acitivy
Tibralis anteror L Normal 2+ Fib, 1+ wave, Fasc (none)
Volitional Muaps
Mild Incr (amplitude) Mild Incr (duration), Config (Poly), +1 Poly
Max Volitional Acitivity
Pattern: -3 Red (Effort Full)
Gastrocnemius (medial head) L Insertional Spontaneous Activity
Normal None (Fibs) None(+wave) None(fasc)
Volitional Muaps
normal (amplitude), Normal (duration) Normal (config), None (poly), Normal (pattern)
Max Volational effort= normal
TIbralis Anterior R Insertional Spontaneous Activity
Normal +2 Fibs, +2 Waves, Fasc (none)
Volitional Muaps
Mild Incr (amp), Mild Incr (duration), Poly (config), +2 Poly
Max Volitional Acitivty
-3 red pattern (full effort)
Peroneal nerve conduction studies shows severe slowing and moderate amplitude reduction across the fibula head bilaterally. EMG exam shows evidence of denervation in the porneal-innervated muscles bilaterally.
Bilateral peroneal compression neropaties at the fibula head with evidence of both demyelination and axonal damage.
Doctor told me that if only myelin was damaged it would have healed faster but because there was denervation that there is nerve fiber damage as well and this will take a long time to heal. He said on average nerve fibers can grow back at a rate of about an inch a month. He said it should take close to a year to heal but suspects it should heal on its own. I am somewhat perplexed on how i did so much damage to myself just by sitting with my legs crossed. He did say at the end that he was happy to give me the good news so i assume this means that i dont have any serious nerve disease. I posted these results for others who may not understand what the stuff means. He told me with ALS you have axonal damage (fail the EMG) but would pass the nerve conduction test. I failed both which i guess is good news. I would really like to thank everyone on this site for contributing information, and my prayers go out to all of you who are in a situation of not knowing exactly what is happening or those who have already been diagnosed with some degree of assurance.
