Hi guys,
I have been having a lot of problems for 4 months now, twitching, postural tremors, joint pain, shaky limbs, jerks while sleeping and so on. 2 months ago i had a emg study which was a abnormal study and chronic denervation was found on the muscles tested, a follow up emg with more muscle sampling was suggested, 2 days ago i had the follow up emg, i was nervous because of the abnormal study of the first emg, however the neuro that did the curent test 2 days ago told me on the spot it was a clean emg, i was very happy but shocked, did the first person that did my first emg botch the test? is it possible for chronic denervation to disappear? this is what my current emg results read
Emg notes: Quantitative EMG of the right deltoid, triceps and vastus lateralis is normal. Semi quantitative emg of the other muscles is carried out as outlined in the muscle chart and is normal. a single fasciculation is noted in the right deltoid muscle.
Conclusion: This is a NORMAL study. Specifically, there is no current neurophysiological evidence of motor neuron and/ or their axon disease, no evidence of large fibre polyneuropathy and no evidence of myositis
the diagnosis of CFS is not supported because of the lack of fasciculations and of continuous motor unit activity. Repetitive nerve stimulation is more sensitive for the diangnosis of CFS and can be arranged at a later date if clinically indicated.
even tho my first emg was done of the left side and this one was done on my right side with some left arm needle testing as well, would that make a difference? or does this mean i have a clean emg? and cleared of any bad diseases?
any advice as to where to go from here with my symptoms?
