Hi all, I am looking for a little advice/guidance. This is my second post and had planned on making it my last, thanking everybody for their time and wishing everybody well. But.....
A quick recap of my story. I was in the hospital with rhabdomylosis and an elevated cpk level. I was also having severe muscle twitching in my right quad. Googled twitching, found this site, and freaked out. While i was being treated in the hospital I was seen by a neuro at my overwhelming insistence. In the hospital the neuro did a baic exam i guess (Rheumatologist pull, push, used the hammer for reflexes, scrapped the bottom of my foot) and said all was fine. She said I could see her in her office and she would do and emg. She did the emg and said I had nothing to worry about.
I should mention that i had been feeling very fatigued and weak after doing things I have been doing with no problem (walking up a few flights of stairs, picking my kids up, etc). Anyway, like a good little solider I start making appointments with rheumatologist, muscle specialist, etc. We had a big storm here in NY and gas rationing and all that good stuff. To make a long story short, I went to another neuro just ro get a complete emg so the rhuemy has a full picture. This neuro says I have weakness in my left calf. I dont feel weak though. I was promptly scheduled to 10the sessions of physical therapy which is in the same building as the neuro making me suspicious. I'm now freaked out about this second neuros findings. Should I get a third emg so quickly to see what's up? Is there somebody recommended in the NYC/Long Island area? Any advice?
