Hello Everyone- This has been getting slowly worse over the last 4 months. IT started out where this area of my hand (area opposite my thumb) was very unsmooth looking under the skin and now it has turned into what looks like strips that are torn out. I don’t have profound weakness but I do have some pain and cramping when I make a fist. The pain and cramping is in my forearm, not my hand. I have had very unusual soreness in my hands after exertion for 7-8 months. My other hand has recently started to follow suit. I have showed this to my neuro and I don’t really get a clear explanation on what this could be. With all of my other symptoms, this is alarming to me. I understand that other things besides ALS could cause atrophy and am not asking if I have ALS. My question is has anyone had atrophy present this way in their hand? Thank-you for your input. There are more pics of this in my album on my profile.
