Name for Nerve Symptoms Found: Benign Cramp Fasciculation Syndrome

[SonicSonic20]

Just got written results from my EMG and said it was Benign Cramp Fasciculation Syndrome. Wow, finally somebody put a name to it. I just wish my other neurologist would have explained that there was such a thing 2.5 years ago, would have saved me a lot of worrying! OR If I would have found all of you here, I could have asked him about it. I also have possible Carpel Tunnul Syndrome. How can it be "possible"? Shouldn't you have it or not have it??? Also....I feel like I have carpel tunnel in my foot. My hand and foot feel the same. Any feedback? What could be going on with my foot? I had a cortizone shot in it over the summer and the pain went away for a few months...it's back.

You could have tarrsal tunnel. Same as carpal tunnel but in the feet. Nobody's calves are the same size, so don't stare at them. I have similar problems as yourself for almost two years. Take your dx and run with it.
