janiedelite Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Hi guys,I wasn't going to post, but my husband and I are pretty anxious about the abnormal EMG I had done Thursday. I have been having twitching in my arms that I mentioned to Dr. Fealey (at Mayo) when I saw him Wednesday. And I have the same tired, draggy, heavy leg feeling that many of us have. I've been having the fasciculations/twitches in my legs more frequently. Last night I just laid there feeling twitches in my legs, abs, back, arms, etc. thinking about what this might mean. I have had MRI's of my neck and lumbar spine and just have a couple areas of minor nerve root compression that I've had for over a year. When the neurologist did the EMG, it was supposed to take just an hour and involve 3 muscles on my left leg. It ended up taking 3 hours because he kept leaving the exam room and talking with his supervisor. He said that my muscles kept showing nerve conductivity at rest. He did 7 areas on my left leg and one area on my right leg.I see Dr. Fealey tomorrow and part of me just wants to know what this means, but I'm dreading it too. My TTT was also indicative of POTS, my BP shoots up with minor activity even talking, BP was over 200/100 during the valsalva, sweat test was normal, and I did lot of more tests including labs but I will hear the results tomorrow afternoon. I just keep reading bad things about abnormal EMG results. I know you guys can't diagnose me or anything but had anyone here had abnormal EMG results without nerve compression? Thanks and I'll post after I meet with Dr. Fealey, Janie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janiedelite Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Yeesh, Ernie! I can't believe it! (I mean, I can believe it but what a shame that you never received the follow-up because abnormal EMG results are scary! )Thank you Flop. I'll let you know how things go.Janie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
