Hi, Could Someone tell me when there is stiffness due to PLS or ALS is it on Both sides of the body or does it remain on one side? Is it bilateral?

Thanks!
 
hi rayray.
it depends really on the area or if you have more spasms in a certain place.
from the waist down my stiffness is the same on both sides but a arm or hand can have stiffness more when the other is ok.
also the jaw stiffness is independent from everywhere else.

i suppose the condensed answer is..........its can be a mixed bag of anywhere:roll::)

I was diagnosed with bulbar PLS in 2006. I had no stiffness in any part of my body until my limbs started being affected in 2008. I had another EMG test in 2008 and there was LMN damage. I have been re-classified to a diagnosed of ALS. When my limbs started weakening that is when the stiffness started. The stiffness was throughout my entire body and remains so.
