Hello,
I have questions in regards to possible ALS. I have been having weakness in and tightness in my hands for almost 8 months. My neurologist ordered an EMG/NCS. He stated that he thinks I have a pinched nerve. I have tightness and pain in my arms, shoulders, chest. And sometimes my legs feel heavy to move. The pain and stiffness usually gets worse at night. My hands are affected bilaterally and can be hard to open and close at times. I feel as though my grip strength is getting worse. My twitching was pretty widespread but has gotten better. My physical exam in May was normal. I had a repeat EMG because my symptoms haven’t gotten better. I was wondering if any of you can look at the EMG pictures that I have attached and tell me what you think. In the results it states something about poly but I’m not sure what that means. Thanks so much for listening.
