Thank you so much for replaying.
1. She wants me to see her in 6 months and do a follow-up on the EMG.
2. I have been dealing with leg fasciculations for about 9 months, I was doing Physical Therapy in May this year and somehow hurt my Hamstring which cause my leg to give up on me, since then I have not been able to drive and had to start walking with a walking stick, but have been able to recuperate some and have been walking without a stick for now a month or so, but still not able to drive yet.
3. I have several issues in my spine, but my neuro basically said all my issues are related to the fasciculations and not my back, I guess she believes BFS - Hyperexitability syndrome based on the EMG today, but she also wrote the "Early Lower motor predominant motor neuron disease cannot be entirely excluded" sent me and my family into panic mode.
4. My Spine issues:
Lumbar:
- Mild nerve impingement at L4-L5 and L5-S1
- Right subarticular disc protrusion at L3-L4 abuts the traversing right L4 nerve root.
- Left foraminal zone disc protrusion at L4-L5 contributes to moderate left foraminal narrowing
and abutment of the exiting left L4 nerve root.
Thoracic:
- Moderate left and advanced right T10-T11 foraminal narrowing could potentially impinge on the
exiting T10 nerve roots.
- Moderate left T8-T9, and mild bilateral T9-T10 foraminal narrowing.
- Mild-moderate spinal canal narrowing at T10-T11.
- Mild spinal canal narrowing at T6-T7 and T8-T9.

Hoping all that abutting, impinging and narrowing is the cause of your symptoms. I hope you get good help!

I think there is a thread on this forum about benign fasciculations.
