Hi all,
I am a 27 yr old maleI have been having symptoms for approximately four months, which began with simple wekness on the right side of my body, especially in my rt shoulder. I brushed it off as i sleep on my rt arm and wake up with extreme numbness for about a minute. Then came along a tendon strain behind my rt knee during a softball game, which again i brushed off due to simply hyperextending my knee. Now a few months later, i have atrophy in my rt calf, softer tissue in my rt forarm, and miscelaneous facilations all over. The facilations began in my rt calf that lasted approximately for a week, then moved to my left calf. They have been going on for appx two weeks, but have subsided and are not as frequent the past few days. I have been to my primary care physicain who put me through blood test and an MRI of the spine that came back fine. My magnesium levels were slightly low and my CK was elevated by appx 30%, but did play two football games the day before (going in for more blood work tomorrow). I have an appt. with a neuro in two weeks, which can not come fast enough. Another thought of mine, is why have i not had any issues with balance, footdrop (considering this seems to have started in my rt calf)? One other thought is that my right eye seems to be blurry when the left is closed? I know that is a symptom of MS, but my facilations are not painful, except for a few misc. shooting pains and pins and needle feelings occasionally. Thank you for your time to read my post and i hope maybe someone may have some insight on my symptooms.
God Bless!
