Correct medical term?
I have a confirmed polyneuropathy and I* think* I understand the difference between a fasciculation and myokomia. I'm not sure the correct medical term for this:
On the outside of my forearm I can feel the pulse of the muscular nerve firing off at random and it causes my wrist to move outward on it's own on both hands. I can see the muscle contract in my arm as well. This can continue for a few mins, hours or days.
Does anyone know the correct medical term for this? I don't think it will fall under either fasciculation or myokomia.
Hi. I had the nerve conduction velocity test only not the EMG. My clinical diagnosis is CMT but it has not been confirmed yet by genetic testing. I'm not 100% sure that it is a correct diagnosis or a least there is still something else going on.
