Hello,
I recently had an EMG in late April. I have yet to recieve the “official results” or an emailed copy of the results, but the doctor emailed me back and said, “Normal, benign fasciculation.” The test was done on my left arm and right leg. The left arm is where I’ve been having symptoms.
My symptoms included left arm feeling weak, atrophy between my index finger and along inner forearm. I also had a good exam with her back in January of this year.
I have a hard time letting this go because of the precieved weakness and atrophy.
Is it safe to say the EMG would have picked up some bad stuff is the atrophy I’m seeing was in fact due to ALS? The fasciculation part of her email concerned me.
Thank you in advance.
