Hi all,
Firstly I know people get sick of the "is this als" type threads on boards like this. I'm posting because I'm going through hell at the moment and I cannot get any answers from doctors until September due to long waiting lists in the hospital.
5 weeks ago I started with a tingling on the bottom of my right leg, this eventually turned in to foot drop, when I touch it the lower outside of the leg has a strange sensation and so does the big toe/top of the foot on the inside. The hospital thought this was due to a slipped disc, I had an mri on my back which came back fine and an MRI on my brain which came back fine.
I'm currently waiting to see a neurologist but I know also have symptoms of weak arms and my hands are stiff, especially my little finger. My right leg also feels weak.
Can anyone advise what this sounds like?
Thank you,
I'm not sure if it makes a difference but I'm also using an AFO on foot with foot drop.
