    My Dr said about atrophy

    Hi, Does this make sense? When I questioned my Dr about ALS, he looked at my hands and said, "you dont have Atrophy". I questioned him because my foot is the problem (Footdrop)? He said but atrophy will affect the hands (in between the thumb and forefinger). This makes no sense to me! :twisted:
