Hand Atrophy

Have a nice day,

I wrote it here before. The old writings are:

My hand's getting worse. I have reached the neurologist through the Internet. I sent her images of my hand.
He said" In the photos you send, the muscle normally expected to grown in ALS patients is more advanced than you normally do. When you tie your thumb to your hand,it looks like the place in the bottom of that muscle is weaker. It will be helpful to have psychological support."

Stiffness continues while walking.This is present in my two feet.In addition, the left hand gap has increased significantly. I have difficulty doing small things.My mind has not changed. I feel like you have Als disease. Because it is getting worse every day.

Do you think these changes make you think of Als disease? What else can you have except Als? (Connective tissue disease, sle.. )

Yusuf,

Please listen to the online neuro and seek psychological support. You have been posting photos of your extremities for how long now? It's time to get help to let go of this ALS compulsion. No one thinks you have ALS but you. Does that not tell you something?

Please, go get help professionally as your state of mind is not improving. As for thoughts on anything other than ALS, please see your GP for that. This is not a general health forum, but an ALS forum. Since you do not have ALS, there is no help here for you to find.

Take good care.

Thank you for the answer.

I know Als disease is a symptom of the disease.I wanted to ask.For this reason.I wanted to ask.Because many neurology doctors could not help me.However, increased every day.

Previously, there were no such anomalies.What do these changes mean?I want to know this by asking the people in there.Do you have experiences like this?What measures do they take?What did they do?

I wanted to take advantage of the experiences of
those people here. Or I know that this forum does not help to find or treat the disease.

Thank you again.

Your hand looks perfect. A nice plump thumb muscle. In your second picture, when I take that position with my hand, the width of the middle of my hand is skinnier than my wrist because of atrophy. Unlike your pic of a normal hand where from the wrist onward it gets wider and wider.

Yusuf, you need to talk to a doctor about your test results- one that has access to your health records and all your test results. This forum is not here to help you diagnose yourself- it is here to help folks with ALS. I know you are in a difficult position, but have been assured by doctors "No ALS", but it is simply unable to provide you the medical attention you seek.
