I'm in the midst of a diagnosis limboland. I have progressive weakness in my left leg and they thought I had MS but all my tests have been fine. MRI's are clear, negative spinal tap, nerve and muscle test within normal limits. My neuro has thrown up his hands and given up. I'm supposed to be going to Loyola in Chicago for a seond oppinion. In talking to other people about similar experiences I was told about PLS. I do not have a diagnosis of PLS and if you wish me to wait until I do to ask questions I completely understand.
One major question of have after reading many of the posts concerns weakness vs spasms. I have occasional muscle cramps but my major presentation is dropping foot and knee weakness producing leg buckling. I'm currently using a walker. I do not have muscle spasms like many of you describe here. I'm just wondering if you have any experience with weakness/cramping but no spasms?
One last question, do you have sensory issues with limbs? Tingling, numbness, or losso f sensation in skin?
Thank you so much for any help you can give me.
