Hi All,
Super grateful for any advice you may have on my situation. It has been ongoing for over 8 weeks- had the EMG about 10 days ago. Left arm weakness, fatigue, twtiches, hand weakness. I am hoping it is due to my neck as I have servere compression the the C5-C6 nerve root. Narravitive ot the EMG from 7/14- This is a NORMAL study. Specifically there is no electrodiagnositc evidence of motor neruron disorder.
Now the muscle between my thumb and forefinger seems like it cramps and my thumb was twitching too.
MRI of neck: Severe compression of the C6 and Cy nverve. Severe arthritis at C5/C6 level. Severe neural forman stenosis with compression at the C7 level.
Could these things be the cause of some wasting in my hand, pain in hand, numbess, and pain in shoulder and arm?
I have litereally seem every you tube video on ALS, treatments, etc. and am scared out of my mind.
Thank you
