Hello all,
Looking for any advise as my anxiety around this issue has been getting out of control.
9 months ago I woke up to find a tremor of my left hand and weakness in gripping and writing. I went to my pcp and a neurologist which did an Mri of head/neck and emg of the left arm and hand. EmG only showed possible reinnervation and low amplitude of the right ulnar snap. Neurologist did a clinical exam and did see some weakness in my left hand as well as the tremor. The tremor then went away over the next several weeks.
Fast forward to about 3 weeks now the tremor has returned, i am having hand weakness seen while attempting to grip things, open things as well as forearm tingling and some weakness, i have been having muscle ‘jerks’ when at rest all over randomly. When I move the jerks go away. At night I can barely sleep bc of whole body jerks when I’m falling asleep. I also have a strange, tight sensation, continuous in my left calf as well. I have another appt with the neurologist but not for a while and was hoping to hear from someone as well. I attached the first emg as well.
Thank you in advance!
