I had an EMG on my arms yesterday. I was supposed to see the Dr in 3 weeks for follow up, but after the EMG was done, the nurse said I needed to come in on Tuesday. The tech did tell me the test was abnormal (impulse waves too far apart?). Does this sound consistent with MS? Any other thoughts? It does make me a bit concerned that my appointment was moved up because of the results.
I have had an MRI with multiple lesions that the doc says "are in the right place for MS", an LP that was normal with the exception of very low fluid pressure, normal labs except an elevated sed rate. During this process, I developed polymyalgia rheumatica that is being barely controlled with high dose prednisone, so the pursuit of an MS diagnosis was put on the back burner. I cannot function without the pred, can't lift my arms and my hands spasm. I was having trouble with arm weakness before the PMR, so that's why he did the EMG. I guess I'm just wondering what could be in an EMG that would warrant an urgent appointment with him. I am not normally a nervous nellie, but this has me a bit frightened. Any ideas?
