I have symptoms in every muscle. Had an emg done that showed increased insertional activity only in tricep. Then had muscle biopsy done that showed abnormal neurogenic changes. Now neurologist wants to do a more extensive emg. Does that make sense?

My emg says increased insertional activity, then I had a muscle biopsy done saying I have chronic dennervation with reinnervation, small angular fibers scattered in regions of grouped atrophy, rare pyknotic nuclear clumps. What neuro disease is this?
