About a year ago I noticed one of my toes couldn't raise - went to doc who said not to worry as I had no other issues other than some general malaise. About 4 months ago i noticed weakness in my left hand and a slight drop on my left foot. I was doing yoga and stood up to walk into my kitchen a few weeks ago and I felt like my legs were going to buckle - mostly my left leg and my arm was spasming as well - went to my primary who thought i might have MS so a brain scan was done in the ER as well as neck and back X-rays. No lesions that would indicate MS. Last night I noticed my left foot was swollen and the tops of my toes were pinkish (btw, I have no pain and no sensations). After elevating it the swelling went down some but is still slightly swollen. I'm hoping that this is nothing and will go away - in the meantime I was given an urgent referral to OHSU and see them next week. Needless to say, I'm a bit concerned and thought I'd post to get some feedback. Thank you for taking the time to read my thread...
