EMG tomorrow and hopefully I can move on

Well tomorrow is the big day where I get my EMG.

Just to share a timeline - 39 Male 185lbs

Last year January is when I noticed both calf twitching 24/7. Went to doctors in May who said it was likely nothing. Twitching started on right quad and literally as a line going through quad. Dr sent me to Neuro in November

Physical exam:
Strength was good no weakness anywhere
However, I did have Bi lateral Barbinski so he referred me for MRI on spine and Brain.

MRI -December and January
Brain - Clean

Spine:
Disc bulge(s)
Lateral recess narrowing right side
Foraminal narrowing

Now EMG tomorrow.

I’m still very active and weight-lift 5 times a week. 3 days of the week I will do stair master on level 8 for 20-30 minutes without holding on. All my exercises have increased including lower body see attached screenshots.

I do have 24/7 quad twitch and atrophy the best way to describe it is like a string wrapped around my quad that looks like an indent.

Again my day to day activity has not been impacted I’m way more in shape this year than last year and cardio has improved.

The positive Babinski and line through my quad it was scares me the most

See you on the other side guys,
