I do have a question- why are you asking strangers on the internet instead of the person who actually conducted your exam or your doctor? Can you provide the brief summary that is usually provided along with the tables? That is where the numbers are interpreted, and would give you the correct answers.
I will also ask if you are working on getting anxiety support, as was recommended the last time your thread was closed.
Forearm weakness
Hello, My heart goes out to everyone suffering and caring for someone with ALS. I have had a stiff right forearm, which feels weaker than usual. It almost feels sore and feels good when I massage it. But there is just a dull/burning pain and nagging need to massage it. I read about feeling vs...
Last time…
Hi, I apologize in advance for posting (again). I promise this will be my last time. I’m just super anxious about a new symptom I’m having. My twitching has continued all over, subtle but there. And more concentrated in my left lower leg. Very subtle, does that mean anything? Yesterday I woke...

The part you are asking about is the nerve conduction portion of the test and you need as Fiona said to look at and ask for the doctor’s interpretation. If there is a problem there it indicates something other than ALS anyway. The emg ( needle portion) is the part that matters in ALS and yours is 100 percent normal. You are clear of ALS

The nerve conduction part has nothing to do with ALS, so you will have to discuss with your doctors. I am closing this thread, as you have been cleared of ALS, and that is what this forum's focus is.
Please take care.

Both the NCS and EMG look completely normal, and are stated as such. Remember, there is more normal variability in nerve conduction than in the EMG.

Just to clarify I never said your ncs was abnormal. I don’t happen to carry the tables in my head. I said look at the interpretation which you had not posted and ask your doctor The interpretation which youhad in your possession clearly states the ncs and the emg were normal. It is a sign of your admitted anxiety that you even started this thread and also that you read into my comment a meaning that was not there. Please concentrate on your mental health
