Nothing in that report has anything to do with ALS. It does mean that you have a softening/thinning of the spinal cord that needs looking into and that may require surgery. That is a mechanical problem. Your supposition that ALS or MS are "on the table" has no support from this report or anything else you have said. An EMG is used to explore many different conditions, as is a brain MRI.
You're in the wrong place here --fortunately. That said, my best advice is to always get a second opinion on any proposed spine surgery or interventional procedure such as an injection.
