I have had weak feelings in my right leg and shoulders with crampy feelings( no cramps) for over 3 months( still no clinical weakness). I'm 36by the way and have been to a neuro. he said He was pretty certain I didn't have ms or als right after my physical exam but gave me a full work up anyway( 2 mri, nc study and 2 emgs, bloodwork). He said the emg looked normal for my age and the state of my back and mentioned radiculopathy( multiple bulging discs in upper and lower back and some carpel tunnel). I heard him asking the tech during the emg if that was recruitment or not and then he would have me flex that muscle and then say that looks normal but on one I heard him say is that decreased recruitment and nothing else? after the emg I asked him if anything looked indicative of als and he said "definetly not, your good" and started talking about seeing a psyciatrist for health anxiety but did say my bloodwork showed a positive ana and he wanted to do a bit more bloodwork before sending me to a shrink. What do I make of all this?
