Must really be in a bad place as I have sat here and watched 36 members view my call out for help post but no responses. I guess this is a sign that I have overstayed my welcome. I thought I have seen many others have setbacks and look for reassurance but for some reason, I guess my situation...

Thanks Mario. . .this will never get old :)

Thank you for that! Your post is very helpful :)

Hey RainCat do you have hand atrophy as well?

Hey everyone's neurologist emailedme with the below information which ofCourse made me feelBetter and hopefully maybe help someone else. AsAlways you guys are the best ..."The EMG from the Englewood doctors does NOT show ALS. ALS is not a neuropathy which they say she has slightly and ALS is not...

Guess I just need to keep telling myself that I have soMuch pain in my hand that is atrophied and lots of sensory issues which hopefully is t my cervical herniated disc c5/c/6. Just so scary to see the atrophy and a recent emg that changed so much from 15 months ago. Not to mentioned the...

Thanks guys and I really appreciate the time you took however, Yuli, you said "doesn't seem to be ALS or MS" which, as you can imagine, is scary for someone with health anxiety. Any thoughts??

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone can help me understand the EMG of my atrophied hand. It says "This is an abnormal study consistent with multiple level cervical polyradiculopathy more on the left. There is also, a median motor neuropathy on the left and a relative right ulnar motor...

Just wondering if anyone has had an emg where a chiropractor performed the first part, the nerve conduction?

Well interestingly enough, my doctor called today and asked me to go for an emg which he scheduled for today. It was with a neurologist I have never met before and was very nice. One dr. did the Nerve part in the beginning and then she came in, looked at me and said "I am pretty sure you don't...

Yes but the dr said the thenar is atrophied :(

Thanks Cobber for your detailed response. It is certainly alarming for a health anxiety individual to have a doctor say "wow look at your arm and thenar atrophy" as you can imagine. But I also have pain from arthritis in my thumb and palm and now a burning sensation in my arm so my practical...

Hi everyone,Thankfully I haven't been on in awhile which means I am moving in the right direction but not home free just yet. I just came back from an orthopedic dr. appt and to make a long story short, he noticed my thenar and arm atrophy right away. He said it is from a C6/C7 injury but of...

Thanks for all the posts. Twitch comes and goes, mostly goes :) but still makes it a bit uneasy but Mitra's post made me feel great!! I have sworn off googling so thank you, thank you, thank you for that!

Thanks Rob. He actually reviewed my clean MRI from two years ago and called and said to hold off. Thank you for that and yes, I would agree with what you said.

Yes! That does happen. . .many mornings I wake up and have to shake my hands out. .. if you know of or come across a diet like that please pass it on. My nerves are definitely unhappy. . . .

You are making me feel so much better. . .thank you. My numbness, thankfully, comes and goes for the last two years. As a matter of fact, I just looked back to a diary I was keeping and saw that I kept repeating over and over again, right hand/pinky numb, upper right arm internal vibrations...

Really?? I have been searching and found more negative than positive so am happy to hear that and will keep searching. Have seen a lot of comments that facial myokmia can be a sign of ms. Unfortunately I also have numbness in my hand and internal tremors in my arm. Only good thing I think is...

That's what I thought but he called it a "facial myokymia" which is common with ms. I also have numbness in my hand and internal trembling in the upper part of the same arm but I have had all that for the last two years and when I had the MRI. I thought a myokymia was a twitch?? I just don't...
