Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this and giving me your opinion. About 1 month ago my left shoulder began to be in pain. Nothing major and I took little notice to it. About 2 weeks later I began having significant shoulder weakness and numbness in the deltoid region. This weakness has made it difficult to reach overhead and raise it at my side. My deltoid muscle has severely atrophied along with a little of my tricep. After seeing a nuerologist I received an EMG which resulted in slight nerve problems in the deltoid and tricep region. I received an MRI of my cervical spine which came back normal. My orthopedic suspects nueromuscular problem which immediatly made me do research. I understand als is an extreme but being young I am very concerned about my future. If I can hear any opinions and also wonder what a dirty EMG means? I am not sure if mine was dirty.
Thankyou again for your help and support. God bless all of you that have been truly diagnosed and suffer with this disease as you are the true warriors in my eyes.
