Default Motor nerve tests

Hi all, I'm back to whinge about my shrinking muscles again! :-) Seriously though, its becoming extremely distressing watching my lower body shrink like this. I have had the nerve conduction tests come back clear twice. Does this test identify problems with motor nerves? Are these large fibre nerves? I had the needle in one of the worst affected legs where the neuro determines damage to the muscle when you flex it and that was clear. But my legs are shrivelling beyond words. I recall Ken and others saying it can take time for the ncv test to show the damage. Is there any other way to measure or diagnose motor nerve damage?
My legs feel weaker and fragile but there is strength there.
I just need some acknowledgement of what's happening beyond the SFN from my neurologist.
