RE: MY APPMT today w/ neoro & My Pinky toe
Hi,
Thank you ((TRFROGGY)), I was thinking it may be the starting of weekness, before it affects the foot itself?
I went to Manhattan to an ALS Clinic today & saw the director. They had a cancelation.
He said that my pinky was week but that the foot itself was not. Did not really have an answer but said ALS does not typically appear this way although my pinky toe is clearly week?
He did an EMG /Nerve test & said everything was perfect with that. He said the test would show any lower MN disease & upper is noted by the physician, clinically. My knee reflexes are brisk but he said so are most peoples.
He thought I may have a possible pinched nerve but did the EMG on my lower back & that too was good.
I asked if this could be the beginning of ALS, like a dropped pinky toe". He said No, not to worry...........
Im happy but still wondering........why is my pinky toe not working/moving like it use to?
Thx for your help,
