My husband has been tentatively diagnosed with ALS. Still waiting to do a spinal and cervical MRI. My question is about pain he has in his neck. I keep reading that pain is not consistent with ALS. All of his symptoms do go along with ALS. He has been degressing for about 7 mos. now. He did not have any pain, just weakness until about a month ago. He had a fall and hit is head. Since then, his head tilts to one side, can't straighten it at all and his head drop is way increased. He also suffers pain in his neck often. Dr.'s did an MRI on his neck area and said there was no injury. It is just so difficult trying to figure out how so many different symptoms are connected. Anyone's thoughts on the pain?
