Good afternoon everyone. I am writing again to update my situation in case it can help someone and to humbly ask for your opinion. My previous thread is already closed but I put the link here so as not to repeat the whole story.
The news is that I have visited another neuromuscular specialist, and the EMG says two things that worry me a lot. On the one hand, there is motor conduction block in the left ulnar nerve and median trapping of the right hand. Also fasciculations in the left arm. And what worries me the most: chronic denervation with increased pum in the right anterior tibialis. I remember that I had a back operation in 2015 and, according to the doctor, this chronic denervation may be a consequence of the operation. But in that same leg I have a lot of fasciculations. I'm worried that this is the start of ALS because a year ago my emg was totally clean and now it has all those things. I am also concerned that an EMG in 2017 after the operation already showed the chronic denervation, but then last year's EMGs were normal, and now the latter shows the chronic denervation again.
Can a chronic denervation with increased pum appear and disappear from the emg? Can motor conduction problems be a sign of MND?
This concern is horrible. Thank you very much for your opinion in advance and I send you my best wishes.
concerned about a suspected ALS that has not yet been confirmed
Good afternoon. First of all thank you very much for making this effort to respond to people like me who still do not have a clear diagnosis but are suspicious and afraid of having ALS. Much encouragement in your fight -that may be our fight as a society-. Sorry for my English, I will try to...
