I have had constant twtiching in both calves for going on 3 months.
i also have twitching randomly all over my body including my tongue.
all the muscles twitch at rest and when i get up to walk or move around my calves stop twitching. i get radnom ones in arms, hands, tongue ( at rest ), butt, (arches of feet are also 24/7.)
i went and seen a neruo and he checked a few reflexes and ordered a emg..
the emg was dont on both calves and my right thigh and foot.
the emg was considered clean just showing fasiculations..
i went back to the neruo and asked for some strength test and for him to test babnski, hoffsmans, and clonus, he also checked my gait and looked at a few reflexes. he said i was strong and my gait was normal and no babnski, hoffsmans or clonus, he didint say anything about brisk reflexes or anything either but he did tell me the neruo that did my emg wants me to do a follow up emg in 4 months. i asked why if it was " Clean" and my exam was "Normal" he said the guy that did the emd test said he thinks i might have had a Positive sharp wave he couldnt tell during the test so i need a follow up. My main neruo Said he is leading towards a Neruomytonia or BFS dX.
My question is the psw? how can you think you see a psw? and also the emg said no neruopathy, radiopathy, and no active denervation.
oh just remembered the Neruo also said he didint notice any atrophy or hypertonia or hyperflexia
so its been a lil offer 3 months now and still have 0 weakness, atrophy so no Symptoms of Als as far as im concerned.
So what im askin should i be worried about the follow up or is the 1 semi exam and 2nd good exam and one Esssintail Clean emg Be good to rule out ALS?
or is this going to be one of those stories of of good clinical and emg 4 months later full blown ALS?
Sorry to bother but my anxiety and been really high lately.
Thank you all for your Responses
