Hello.
I’m 33 years old female and I’ve had neurologist consultation today after experiencing symptoms of weakness in my calf. The strength of my arms and legs was found to be fine but the doctor found brisk reflexes and positive Hoffman sign. No babinski sign found. I also have fasiculations all over my body but most often in my calves. He mentioned something about c8 compression and told me I don’t have als. He ordered spine mri.
I’m worried sick that I might have als as my reflexes are brisk and Hoffman’s is positive.
Can someone tell me if I should be worried? I have three beautiful girls and I want to see them growing up
