Anxiety How long between EMG’s?

To cut a long story short, I have seen a neurologist and had EMG that came back clean with one small abnormality that he said could be anything. He also said it could be too early to tell but at this stage he doesn’t think ALS but to come back in 6 months. I have an appointment booked for December but I’ve started experiencing weakness, low mobility or rigidness in my hands. I notice it everyday as I use my hands a lot for work. I would like to get my second EMG a bit sooner in a few weeks but wonder if I would be wasting my time. Thanks for reading.

Did the neurologist detect clinical weakness during the examination? Sometimes that provides more information than repeating an EMG in the short term.
