Hi All
First of all thank you for all of your support and taking the time to answer our questions and helping us understand what to make of our symptoms.
My situation started in early January where I was having sharp, pin like pain in my left thigh - I blamed it on exercise at first but now noticing my left leg is getting weaker, it’s shaky at times, very difficult to balance on it, weaker than right leg, and occasional twitching. I don’t know if there is any relation but noticing some lower back pain - but may be something that’s worth noting? Trying to get a neuro apt but with insurance I have it’s slow w referrals etc but hopefully will be going soon. Also I read the sticky at the beginning, but also read the other pages with recent diagnosis and some folks started about general leg weakness, back pain before more serious symptoms arose so not sure what to make of my scenario. Any info is greatly appreciated!
