I went for a Clinical Examination at the Neurologist's on Thursday. She said she did not think I had ALS. She found no weakness in the foot I thought was effected or anywhere. She also said I did not have muscle wasting Atrophy in that foot because I could 'bound around the room'. My reflexes were also ok, or at least she did not comment on them. I had no babinski reflex sign. So, my only symptoms she thought were fasciculations (which she could not get to cause happen when I we was there). However, this evening whilst lying on my stomach on my laptop, with my feet in the air, I got a foot cramp out of nowhere. It was in the other foot that I did not think was effected but could this be progression?
My Neurologist said that due to my no lack of weakness, normal reflexes, my age and the fact that fasciculations have been going on the since the July she doesn't think I have ALS. I'm so worried that this cramp is going to progress, does this and if these continue does it show the progression she said she didn't think I had? Has anyone had a normal Clinical Examination and still turned out to have ALS?
Thank You
