Rough day [View all]

Finally got to see a neurologist for increased leg weakness, possibly related to lumbar spinal stenosis, possibly not.

He didn't care for the EMG I had done last week. Did another one.

No final diagnosis, but he left me with two possible options - multilevel nerve impingement needing spinal surgery, or motor neurone disease (ALS).

Rough day.
