Update: MRI on neck showed Multilevel cervial degenertive disc and joint disease, but from what we have been told that should not cause the twitching in his arms, (tingling and numbness in arm but not twitching) or the slurred speech. So May 1, he is getting an EMG on his right arm. Can anyone tell me a little about what that will tell us? The Doctor explained how they did an EMG. So, I think that I am ok with that, just unsure what the point is. I've seen people talking about clean and dirt EMG results what exactly are they talking about? Also, is this something that we will know the results of right away or is it like an MRI, where we have to wait? Will this tell us for sure if it is ALS? Sorry, so many question, any information is helpful. Thank you to all who have taken the time to respond. I truly appreciate your time.
