Hello, I would've reffered to my last post but due to time it was closed so I'm back reporting my results from April 2018 from Houston Methodist.
The NCS/ emg were basically the same as 6 months prior, emg still showing chronic denervation with partial reeinnvation and NCS showing 40% slowing of peroneal and tibial motor nerves. Dr told me I don't have ALS and of course I'm excited but still concerned bc according to the stickies I've read it says denervation with reeinnvation happens with ALS and that's what I have.
According to another sticky I read it says that motor nerves get damaged first and then weakness and atrophy occur, my question now is why do they say NCS is usually normal in ALS but then sticky says motor nerve damage occurs first?? I'm confused.
Also, my lurking eyes see where some ppl don't actually see weakness for a couple years after a dirty emg. I'm going on 2 years of minor toe and ankle weakness of right foot and fasiculations. I can still walk and toes and heels but struggle a lil when doing single leg raises on right foot, it goes about 75% of the way and left is no problem. I'm 37 years old now. Sorry for long post just wanted to be somewhat detailed. Thanks for listening.
