Hey all,
My partner, who is 30 years old and male, has a long family history of MND. His Dad who was diagnosed 4 years ago.
For about a year now he’s been having some symptoms. Mainly a stiff and achy right ankle and right wrist. He’s seen various specialists but most recently a neurologist who said he saw no signs of MND but ordered an EMG which came back normal. The neurologist signed him off.
However over the last couple of months we’ve noticed his right ankle and wrist getting increasingly thinner, his muscles in these areas seem softer than those on the left side.
My partner is convinced that his muscles are aching because some of the muscles are already being affected by MND and therefore not working and the muscles left are having to compensate. He thinks the atrophy is proof of this.
His GP just keeps saying she doesn’t know what it is!
Thank you for listening.
