Hi :smile:
I want to send my best regards to all participants of this forum, I respect all people affected by this desease and wish them to stay strong. I sympathise with people who lost loved ones to ALS.
I hope you can help me to get an idea of what might be happening to me.
3 months ago I had bunion surgery, both feet. Left foot still in pain. A month ago I was exposed to cold for 4 hours, just sitting outside with light clothes, did not feel cold though until the last moment when I got home. But the following night and week had excruciating pain in my feet, pins and needles in feet, arms, legs and cold sensation in the body, twitching, following terrible weakness. I still have these symptoms, not that acute though.
A couple weeks ago I noticed that my hands changed, as if my fingers are weak, and there is a dent between my thumbs and fingers. I went to the ER last week, They say this is muscle atrophy. Did blood work, Creatine kinase 1070, elevation of AST, ALT.
I was referred to neurologist, still waiting for the appointment.
I found pictures and description of split hand in the Internet and in your forum, which look exactly as my hands look. I found a picture of my hand 2 months ago, it was not the same as now. Now my fingers started to curl when I extend the arms.
This together with other symptoms as twitching, terrible weakness makes me think of ALS.
I will send the pictures of my hands in the following post.
I appreciate your opinion very much.
