My father has diagnosed 4 days back with MND-ALS but I am confused after meeting with two doctors, I am writing down two set of reports from other neuro surgeon. please have a look and advised me weather this is MND-ALS or not. I am attaching EMG and MRi reports as well. please help me, i am in a very bad situation... my father is everything for me....
There are two set of reports.
--1st Dr. has diagnosed my father with CK, CK MB increased value, which caused muscle pain and not being able to walk. Muscle pain only in thighs and calves no where else. due to this pain he is not being able to walk. He was talking cholesterol lowering tablet since 8 years(usually this cased ck-ck mblevel increased).
My father took the tablet to lower down ck- ck mb for 1 month, but no benefit. still my father is not able to walk, or else he walk only 6-7 steps. bcoz severe pain in calves. and if he want to go further pain increased and his legs going weak and he fell down. then we ask the doctor and he recommend for another doctor who is senior to him.
--2nd doctor took emg and MRi test(attached) and he said my father is having MND-ALS. but i am not sure due to some conflicts in symptoms. my father is having severe pain in thighs and when he walk on calves & thighs both. usually MND does not shows any pain in muscles. ck-ck mb . symptoms are mostly matched with my father illness.
please tell me whom i can consult, I am living in India and very much worried. Or is there any other test i am missing.
