Hello!

I have a question about my muscle biopsy report. I have been having limb muscle pain, numbness, tingling, burning and achy feelings for almost two years. My other symptoms are trouble swallowing, laying flat at night, stubbing my fingers and a lot of confusion. This is in both my arms and legs. My legs are the worst. Especially on my left side.

I hate to bore you with my story. :-( But I would like to know if someone could help me understand what this result means.

Muscle, left quadriceps, biopsy - Occasional muscle fibers with focal
increased subsarcolemmal cytochrome oxidase, SDH, and NADH staining.
- Rare angular atrophic esterase positive muscle fiber.

A rare angular atrophic esterase positive muscle fiber is observed. Occasional
muscle fibers show focal increased subsarcolemmal staining on the NADH,
cytochrome oxidase, and SDH stained sections.

Thank you for any opinions. :)
 
The fact that all of your symptoms are sensory, ALS is not even on the table. It sounds like the Drs have found something, but not ALS. Happy New Year, things are looking up.

You doctor has a responsibility to explain this report to you.
