body twitching and cramps with numbness in hands and feet
Posted: 01-11-08 22:01pm

Hi,
i had an EMG and muscle needle testing done on both of my legs and part of my back today and i am a little confused about the results...the Doctor performing the tests said that i had some atrophy in my left leg and neuropathy...i have been having body wide twitching and cramps for about three months now along with burning and numbness in my hands and feet...After what i thought was some pretty extensive testing ( 11/2 hours), i asked the Dr if it was something horrible like ALS or MD and he told me i don't have those things, and that it might be due to back problems or bad shoes but why would i have atrophy in one foot and part of my ankle???? And what is the source of all my twitches???
My Brain MRI's were OK except some minimal abnormal white matter maybe due to age (i'm 50)

Unsure about this one. Did you ever get an answer from your doctor?
