Had foot drop for a year now- had MRI of brain, neck and spine and got all clear. Had EMG/Nerve study tests in March this year but just on the foot drop leg which was inconclusive. I had EMG/Nerve study two weeks on all limbs, stomach and neck ago and got results verbally from neurosurgeon. He said he cannot rule out ALS/MND and to repeat the test in two months unless I have more symptoms. I have asked for hard copy of test.
Besides foot drop and not being able to walk far I have twitches in the foot drop leg and the other leg but not many.
The tests showed fasciculations in my upper limbs but I have not felt these.
Is it normal practice to do a repeat test and should I seek another opinion as two months seems a long time to wait.Thank you
