Hello everyone.
I have to say this seems like the worst club to be a part of with the best members. I am so wowed by the amazing resource this is and how wonderful you all are.
I am a 31 year old female that has been dealing with neck/shoulder/arm pain with bouts of vertigo for 11 months. And sometime it would lead to weird feeling headaches. It would all come and go but it’s been back and consistent for 5 months and the anxiety of it all has really talked a toll on me. Doctor ordered blood tests, seizure tests, a CT all normal. My shoulders have started to consistently burn. And after looking up what an EMG test was I started to have muscle twitching everywhere especially at night. I’ll own that that could be pyshcosomatic.
Then I did the EMG test.
These are the results.
My doctor ordered an MRI but doesn’t seem too worried but did mention ALS which of course really alarmed me. I didn’t think it would ever be something that serious.
I walk all day, never have fallen or tripped or dropped anything. I don’t feel weak. It just feels like I cannot for the life of me put my shoulders down. Could that be Flail Arm? I feel healthy but I’m not sure what to make of these results and would love some help.
I am getting an x-ray of my neck (which was ordered before from the first appointment), the MRI on the 5th and seeing the neurologist on the 6th. Doctor wasn’t concerned enough to move those up I was told.
Thank you in advance for looking things over.
