I had a leg issue that was thought to be related to my L4-5 issue. Then I have an MRI due to neck and shoulder pain. They find bulging disc with forminal stenosis with C5-6 central canal of 7mm and C6-7 of 8mm. At the same time thyroid nodules are found. It was cancer and thyroid removal was done in Oct 2015. My voice hasn't been right since then still very weak. RAI done in Nov 2015. Had another MRI on shoulder in late Oct 2015 they find torn rotator cuff and labrum tear. Had to wait till Dec 2015 to have shoulder surgery. Rehab started in Jan 2016 by early March leg was worse and hand was worse therapies realized I could not lift my arm. So off to neurosurgeon who sends me for another MRI of brain and c-spine. Disc bulging more but is thought not bad enough to cause my symptoms. So then off to neurologist but had to wait a month. Had EMG and NCS that showed denervation with 1-2+ positive waves. I end up at hospital because I was feeling really bad virus like illness feeling. They make me in patient and run several blood test and do another EMG NCS and neurologist says it is ALS. Now home with antidepressant meds.
But, I am having burning stinging pains in my arms hands and front of legs and top of feet. Still feel like I have a bug with getting hot then cool but no fever.
Is this a normal symptom. I go to sleep when I sleep worried my good arm and leg want be working.
Sorry for the long details but it has been a strange journey.
I hope everyone has a blessed day.
