A member asked:
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?

You would probably be best served by having any further testing done after being evaluated by a specialist in neuromuscular disorders at a university hospital department of neurology.

As has been emphasized, a new team of physicians now needs to get involved. Seek out a local medical school, gather your medical records with test results, and obtain a thorough second opinion.

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?
Does localized painless twitching in muscle areas like bicep, & tricep warrant a visit to a neurologist for EMG? Any benign issues or ALS?
Muscle biopsy of right tricep show Chronic denervation and reinnervation with small angular muscle fibers scattered and regions grouped atrophy. Same symptoms in every muscle. Doctor cant give a diagnosis. Why cant he? What other test can I do?
