Physical exam findings and DIAGNOSING???
Good morning everyone,
I have a question for the pros on the forum.
My neuro saw my obvious, visible weakness of my right hand with the "thumb-in-fist" phenomenon on my last visit.
Since my EMG/NCS came back "normal" with no carpal tunnel, will the above in anyway help with the McDonald criteria in diagnosis?
After my EMG he said, "I'll see you in 2 months."

Hi,
I have had multiple MRIs and tests since 2003. I have not had a new MRI for over 3 years now. I just had an EMG/NCS last week to rule out carpal tunnel etc.
He is holding off at this time, for another MRI. I go back in July again for followup.

Hi there. I see your in the situation of waiting and the Neuro wants to see if you have any changes and more symptoms. Alot of people are in this situation. It took me over 4 years of waiting and getting more tests done.
have you had other tests? MRIs Bloodtest etc?

I would say this depends on if your neuro sees this as clinical evidence of a lesion. Not knowing how your neuro thinks, it would be hard to second guess this.
It is good news that you continue to be followed closely by your doctor - 2 months is a pretty quick follow-up time.
be well, Lulu
