ankle

Just wanted to check in. I had my follow up appointment with my neuromuscular specialist at OSU on Wednesday of last week. It was a completely different experience than I had the last time. I didn’t see the medical student, only my doctor, which I think made a huge difference. He actually...

I’m wondering if any other PALS have experienced this or know if it’s part of ALS — My presenting “failure” with ALS was left foot drop. However, about 3-4 years prior to that foot drop, I noticed an odd sensation in the same foot — not exactly a pain, and not a numbness, but more like a...

Hello First I want to say I am so sorry for the affects this disease has caused on peoples lives. I have neurologist appointment but I am about a month and half away from it. I have some symptoms that I would like to run by to see if I can rule out ALS So I didn't really notice anything...

Hi guys, I’m really new to this thread and have read all the information before posting this. I’m really scared at the moment. A few days ago I noticed a sudden weakness in my left leg. This wasn’t gradual and as I say, very sudden. I can still walk properly, walk on my tip toes and I don’t...

I had my first appointment with the physical therapist today. I was with him for an hour and a half and he did a thorough evaluation. He has worked with MS patients (one was there at the time I signed in) and he actually requested more information about ALS. He understood the disease but...

Hi, Maybe I'm being hypersensitive to everything that's going on in my body - maybe I'm just getting "old" (I just turned 32) and don't know how my body is supposed to feel. I was running pretty well the last few months, training for my half marathon. I sprained my ankle and took about 2...

Hello, I would've reffered to my last post but due to time it was closed so I'm back reporting my results from April 2018 from Houston Methodist. The NCS/ emg were basically the same as 6 months prior, emg still showing chronic denervation with partial reeinnvation and NCS showing 40% slowing...
