Cut to chase.
Just had second brain MRI and Cervical MRI in 3 months. Both clean!
Clinical findings...
Right Shoulder muscle atrophy
Right hand weakness
Right arm weakness
Claw hand
Drop foot that resolved
Started in April as right sided, in October the left leg became involved.
Hyperreflexia lower legs and upper extremities
Fasciculations lower legs and upper arms and back
Spasticity in neck forearms and lower legs..painful tibialis anterior
On one MRI request, my neuro mentioned Dystonia.
There ya go. I have NEVER EVER said anything to my Doc about ALS until tonight when I emailed her and finally asked, after 2 years of tests and suspected cervical myelopathy ....Has PLS or ALS been ruled out?
Thoughts?
