ok, after the bad time I had at this Dr, I had them just give me a copy of the results of my EMG. Can anyone help me figure out what this means?
Deep tendon reflexes: weak bilaterally but the ankle jerk was absent bilaterally.
EMG/NCS findings: the motor conduction velocity of the peroneal nerve and posterior tibial nerve is decreased bilaterally. The compound muscle action potential of posterior tibial nerve is decreased, the peroneal nerve is normal bilaterally.The sensory study of the sural nerve showed increased distal latency of the sensory response but the amplitude of the sensory nerve action potential is normal. The distal latency of the f-wave for bilateral posterior tibial nerve and distal latency for the h-response is increased bilaterally. The needle EMG showed chronic neurogenic changes in all the distal examined muscles.
1) motor sensory polyneuropathy of moderate degree, this neuropathy is of the deliminating type.
2)mild chronic radiculopathy of L4, L5 and S1 cannot be ruled out because of the wide spread neurogenic changes into the polyneuropathy.
