On Jan/25/2017 the Neurologist did another EMG to compare to the one done on 7/20/2016, here is the report, so let me know what you all think. This test is just for left side of body, right side never done.
Summary: Nerve conduction studies of the left arm and leg demonstrate mildly slow conduction velocity in the left peroneal and tibial motor nerves. Left sural sensory amplitude was low with slow conduction velocity. needle examination of the left arm and leg and thoracis paraspinal muscles demonstrated few fibrillation potentials in the tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius, FDI, pronator teres, and triceps muscles. Decreased recruitment, long duration, high amplitude, polyphasic motor units potentials were noted in the left gastrocnemius, pronator teres,triceps and deltoid muscles.
Impression: there is evidence of mild, length dependent, peripheral neuropathy. There is also eveidence of active denervation at two levels of the neuroxis. These findings are of the type seen in a chronic progressive disorder of the motor neuron and/or their axons such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. When compared to the study done on 7/20/2016, more active denervation was noted.
that's the report from EMG on the 25th of January this year. With this report at least I have somewhat a better understanding where I'm at.
