Thanks for your responses and care, it is much appreciated. I did feel bad after my talk with the Nuero, perhaps I could have phrased my questions differently. I do want to say I was able to get an appointment very quickly, and the staff was friendly and helpful, and I got my results the same day and for that I am grateful. I think there was an appointment after me that he might have been late for and in a hurry. I am a very logical person so I guess maybe I thought he would review with me on how he arrived at his conclusion. Also reading up on EMGs there is a lot of technical language I try to weed through that doesn't always correlate to what I am looking at on the report. I did find publications that mention fibrillations, reduced recruitment, cramps and PSW as generally "bad" findings and the first pathological problem referenced is "as seen in motor neuron disease". I understand they happen from time to time in healthy people but that it occurred in all 3 muscles at a +2 in 2 seems very concerning. I see that the "normal" values on MUAP indicate away towards chronic denervation for now at least but I guess my followup question on that, is in ALS patients is fibrillation, psw cramps etc the result of chronic denervation or vice versa? Meaning if they show up on the report now is it unlikely that anything other than radiculopathy is the sole cause? I do have back problems too so I know this is a contributing factor however my chiropractor seemed to think they were not abnormal and said my spine was not fused just some discs were jammed a little. (Ironically I haven't really felt any cramps either but I noticed my calves seem to "pulse" or twitch lightly literally once every 30 seconds now, I wonder if that is it?). Anyway thanks again for all your input.
