I am 23 year old male from he great state of Texas.
I have been trying to find the source of my problems for years now to no avail. Started with progressive burning fatigue which has not let up which then lead to joint cracks and perceived weakness in my left arm and leg.
My rheumatologist cleared me of most inflammatory/Arthritis disease, and X-rayed my left knee and shoulder. Still need some more thorough blood work from her. I was referred to a great neurologist who gave me an MRI, nerve conduction study and an Emg as well as a full neurological examination, All came back great.
I was very satisfied and at ease until my left knee started to get worse, it is now very unstable when standing and pops back and forth, I am now going to part time as the chronic fatigue is also too much. Does anyone think a neural second opinion would be unnecessary? Do these symptoms hint toward any kind of MND?
I hate to make a post like this but any help would be greatly appreciated.
When the doctors have no idea whats wrong with you, you begin to want to figure it out for yourself.
