Hi - went to the ALS clinic yesterday. Had my 4th emg and some sort of electric shocks.
I was worried as my thigh has now atrophied and my right foot is smaller. (Calf atrophied three years ago.)
The Dr. was pleased that there was so little change in a year. He says I have PLS with a big question mark as I do not have stiffness? I asked what that was and I am still not sure what he meant. I thought that you did not have atrophy with PLS.
I go into the office with a list of questions but still have more a few hours later.
Can anyone explain what stiffness is? Can I have atrophy with PLS?...............ruby from vancouver (surrey)
