Hello people iam 30 years male
Iam new to this forum this is my first post here so if it’s post already done by many people iam sorry
So past 4 days I have muscle weakness on my right arm I went to ER because I have really bad health anxiety the neru doctor checked me and said it’s nothing like als
Sure I didn’t believed him so I did private EMG so there the results
So my question is even if emg is coming back normal even though arm weakness it’s could be als ?is 4 days are too early for emg ?

This is a nerve conduction study report not an emg. If you had an emg it involved needles not just shocks

4 days of symptoms? And you visited an er and then arranged a private emg? Health anxiety indeed.

If you even have clinical weakness ( weakness detected by a doctor) yes it should show on emg if als but there are a million reasons for weakness that are not als
 
yes I did the needle but I don’t got it I remember when I was looking at the pc the waves were quit
 
So you had an emg. Please get help for your health anxiety
 
so when weakness start even if I go after 3 days emg will show if something wrong ?

I just want to add I even if I feel weakness I test my self and yes I can lift heavy stuff…maybe its because it’s just started few days ago and not progressed yet
 
Hello-

Please read above- the emg clears you, along with a clean clinical exam. Please speak with your doctor for any other questions. You might wish to address your health anxiety as it is clearly causing you distress.
