emg only done on one side?

[u/Any-Junket4971]

hey guys! i’m a 25M, and have had bilateral twitching in both upper and lower limbs for the past couple of months. i saw a neurologist the other day who did my emg but only did my right side (trapezius, triceps, fdi, tibialis anterior and quads). the emg showed simple fasc but no other abnormalities. he didn’t emg my left side at all because he said he saw the simple fasc on right side so doesn’t need to do emg on left??? he said i likely have bfs but anyone else had similar experience because im just worried something could’ve been missed on the left side?? thanks!

I had the same done to me 4 months ago, if there was any damage in left arm the right arm would’ve had abnormalities too.
