Hi all,
My last thread was closed for some reason.
Anyway as you know I've had a bad leg since around October last year it started in the thigh with pain now I get pain in all of my left leg and twitching every day in the left knee, thigh and calf.
My Rheumatologist has ordered a spinal MRI, he tested my reflexes, balance and babinski and didn't notice anything untoward, he is the head of Rheumatology with a lot of experience although I didn't think a Rheumatologist was qualified to do such things?
I'm very concerned about my leg but also now very concerned about my breathing, yes I do have chronic asthma, Fibromyalgia and suspected mild copd by the looks of things but when I breath my neck, ribs and back hurt, this has been going on for around 6 weeks now and I'm worried that maybe MND has started in my leg and is now affecting my breathing or that it has started with the Repiratory part first?
I do have trouble getting words out quite a lot too and also I do choke quite a lot on food and drink, skme days I do some days I don't so I guess what I'm saying is I'm concerned that I may have the common fkrm of MND or maybe the Bulbar or Repiratory onset?
I'm in my early 30's, I had a Lung Function test on 29th June, this showed some obstruction, my FEV1 was 69, my FVC was 100 and my gas diffusion levels seemed normal too.
But as I've only had the rib pain when breathing for around 6 weeks would it have showed on the lung function test? I'm not sure what would indicate respiratory onsef on a pulmonary funtion test?
I hope someone can help, thanks.
