Emg neurogenic patterns indicate moderate root involvement in bilateral c3-c4-c5 myotomes, significant denervation activity of long-term processes in left c3 & current denervation in right c3 & c4 loss of motor units" is this indicative myelopathy??

Advise following: This is a rather dramatic and surprising result for a 29 y.o., and raises question of post-traumatic complication. Also, the data does not appear internally consistent. You could discuss this with the doctors involved, as on this site, we cannot provide diagnoses, or therapeutic recommendations.
