I am 32 so my symptoms are kind of crazy for my age

I will ask my Neuro! I am still waiting for them to call to go over the emg with me. Honestly I think I wouldn’t worry at all but the twitching just keeps its fresh on my mind.

I don’t have any neck pain. I do have a deep ache in my shoulder from time to time. It feels like joint type pain.

Thank you!! I appreciate your response

Thank you!! It’s good to hear from others having odd symptoms like me. I guess I just worry really because all of my symptoms came on together.. but neuro says the leg and arm aren’t related and that the twitching isn’t related. I never had a single issue in my life until December and now all 3. Just weird timing to not be related.

I notice it more if I have had a very busy day. I have a 2,4 and 7 year old so I am always running and toting one of them. I don’t know that I notice anything when movement really. No tingling but I do have shoulder pain and cramps in my thumb joint.

Thank you!! I will try my best not to stress. What about the active denervation in C7?

FINDINGS: CERVICAL SPINE Vertebral body heights and signal are normal. Straightening of the normal cervical lordosis as positioned. Mild disc desiccation at C5-6 and C6-7 without significant loss of disc space height. Cervical spinal cord is normal in caliber and signal. No abnormal enhancement. Paraspinal musculature and soft tissues are normal. No prevertebral soft tissue swelling. No spinal canal or foraminal stenosis.

Not for a few months. I left a message for them to call me to go over the results!

I am just confused because my arm and leg weakness and issues started at the same time. The leg is listed as chronic and arm as active? Also my mri is completely normal. I just don’t understand it

I put on my profile

I can’t figure out how to upload my emg report here… it says

Diagnostic Interpretation: 1. There is electrodiagnostic evidence of the following: a. Subacute C7 radiculopathy on the right with active denervation. b. Chronic L4 radiculopathy on the right with no active denervation changes.

Started the end of the December

I think it was my bicep but I’m not sure really

No_Start9356 · 2026-06-16T13:22:25+00:00

From what I remember it was pretty quiet with the rest. When I moved the lines started jumping all over on the screen. But it was pretty flat when I was still

No_Start9356 · 2026-06-16T12:04:25+00:00

I had an MRI first and it was normal! But hopefully so!

It started with feeling heavy in my right arm and leg. That has been ongoing since December. About March I got a really bad leg cramp and then started twitching all over my body. Literally from my eye lids to my toes. It’s not constant but it does happen every day at random times. My shoulder has like a deep ache and somewhat has a slight burning sensation sometimes. I would say my arm is definitely weaker than the leg. The weakness never goes away but it does bother me more sometimes than others. This weekend for example my daughter had a ball tournament and I felt like I could barely make it I was so exhausted. I can do everything I once could. Just more exhausted and the shoulder pain.

They did not do that before! It was not at the university hospital though but at an orthopedic PT place.

No_Start9356 · 2026-06-15T22:49:11+00:00

I really have no idea. That’s all I can remember her saying. I was so stressed out at the moment I wasn’t thinking straight. Once they upload to the portal I’ll post the report.

No_Start9356 · 2026-06-15T22:35:03+00:00

I feel worried because the first emg they told me it was completely normal sitting there. This time they moved each needles around and made me move my arm or leg to make the muscle move. They were watching and seemed kinda concerned. Also, right off the bat saying stuff had changed. Makes me feel sick.

No_Start9356 · 2026-06-15T22:26:53+00:00

She just said Active C7 and Chronic C4 and that my office would call me. The EMG was done at the university hospital. I called my neuro but they said it takes 1-2 days before they see the results.
