Hello I'm new to the forum and I have a few questions about ALS atrophy of the hand. I'd like to thank all of you who newer before hand because I know your time is precious and I'm sorry if you've been afflicted with this illness my thoughts and prayers are there for you.
My question is can you have atrophy before weakness? I'm an 19 year old and there's a dent in my left hand between the index finger and thumb. I don't have any noticeable weakness at all. My left is my non-dominant hand though. And how common is it for a person under 25 to have SALS?
So question 1 can you have atrophy without weakness?
Questions 2 would atrophy show as a dent or any other way?
Question 3 how many people actually get SALS under 25?
