Multiple symptoms without a clear diagnosis

It is a very limited emg but ALS is a disease of widespread acute and chronic denervation and even in ultraearly disease you will see abnormalities in clinically unaffected muscles. Here we see abnormalities in one muscle only and even the other one tested was normal which is not what we would see in ALS

Thank you for bearing with me, I went to a neurologist with 30+ years of experience and she didn't see anything unusual in my reflexes and didn't find anything additional to the weakness in outwards motion in arm, in other words no progression since September / October. She will consult with the person who conducted my EMG (who she thinks is one of the best specialist in the country for that) and will come back to me on Monday. The suspiction is on Brachial Plexus Lesion (backpacker lesion (?)). I will start physiotherapy on Monday. Hopefully that concludes it and I can move on.

That sounds like a good plan. Ask for stretches/exercises that can be done at home as well.
