Tingling, numbness, weakness and nerve pain — systematic diagnosis with EMG/NCS
Peripheral neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, radiculopathy, nerve compression syndromes, myopathy, motor neuron disorders, neuromuscular junction disorders and chronic nerve pain syndromes require careful distribution mapping, metabolic review and electrodiagnostics. Dr. Jitendra Prasad Yadav provides comprehensive diagnosis and management with EMG and NCS interpretation — distinguishing demyelinating from axonal, entrapment from generalized, and myopathic from neurogenic patterns.

Length-dependent tingling/numbness suggests polyneuropathy; segmental weakness suggests radiculopathy; focal numbness with provocation suggests entrapment; fatigable weakness suggests neuromuscular junction disease. Diabetes, B12, thyroid, alcohol, medication and autoimmune contributors are reviewed systematically.
EMG and NCS are performed and interpreted in context — NCS for demyelinating vs axonal, entrapment vs diffuse; EMG for neurogenic vs myopathic, acute vs chronic. Results guide treatable cause search, disease monitoring and referral for immunotherapy or surgical decompression where indicated.
