Please can someone answer these questions?
1. An EMG tests for neuropathy and myopathy - is it possible to have a clean nerve conduction study but a problem with the needle EMG?
2. Can you have a myopathy without and nerve damage?
3. With ALS would you have both a neuropathy and myopathy?
Thank you

4. Would a TSH of 8 and subclinical hypothyroid be enough to cause muscle weakness?
Does definately not having a neuropathy rule out any lower motor neurone disease?
