Hello. I have followed posts here, as concerns have been with me for some time. In 2010, summer, I had noticed dragging of my left foot - slight, but required attention. Also left leg did not co-operate or move as easily as my right. Dr. Did MRI of brain and lower back - both clear (age-related changes in spine) Dr. Said it was probably nerve damage behind knee. In April 2012 had TKR of right knee- followed by clonis and spacicity in left leg. Knee progressed O.K., but still had to use walker due to instability and balance problems.
MRI of brain and cervical spine show nothing significant so am being referred to neurologist for EMG/NC studies- soon I hope. Is this the definitive test for ALS? IF it's clear could that change in the near future? Does PLS show up on an EMG.?
I really appreciate any answers. I have just been prescribed ciprelex for depression: is this a good choice?
Many thanks for any help.
