I’ve had constant twitching in my calves for over two years now. I was able to overcome the anxiety of that and move on.
However, for the last three months I’ve had very odd sensations in my shoulders, triceps and upper back/right below the shoulder blade. The muscles fatigue very quickly and I have burning sensations. I’ve noticed that my shoulder muscles have definitely atrophied, especially on the back under the shoulder blade. I slouch like crazy and it’s caused pain in my shoulders and upper back. I know it’s said that pain means it’s not ALS but my father had a lot of pain before he was diagnosed. My symptoms seems to closely mirror my fathers early symptoms .
My main question is that I had a EMG two years ago. It was in my lower extremities but they also did the lower part of my spine, hands and lower back. Everything was clean Except for some fasciculations that showed up. Would an EMG 2+ years ago pick up any signs of abnormalities even though it isn’t directly in the places I’m experience issues?
