Guys I'm so sorry to post but after my normal EMG test now I'm having serious fasciculations at my injection sites. They are just going going going. Woke me up out of a somewhat sound sleep.
Please forgive me but I didn't know where else to go about this. I know pain is a common side...
Hi, some of you have already been helpful for me in my other thread (thanks). This past Wednesday, I went for EMG and nerve conduction at the ALS Center, where the director had told me categorically, at the tail end of August (after my own neurologist informed me in July that he suspected...

Hello.
I started with foot drop about 6months ago. My left leg has gotten progressively worse and has moved to my R leg. Emg was bad showed decreased nerve conduction and muscle loss in both legs. I have brisk reflexes and positive Babinski on both sides. The neurologist agreed these...
