Hopefully this will be my last health fear and question for a while, it is.........

Does anyone know, with Motor Neurone Disease, does it present itself in pain? For example would your arm or wrist ache when you move/bend it? I dont want to google

Thanks all

Hiya

This disease is very rare in peeps under 50 but begins with muscle weakness & ataxia- general poor balance & slurred speech & atrophy- muscle wastage.
The symptoms are very progressive & fully developed usually within a few months...

Hun dont worry xx

Hi Nicky, thank you for answering. I know someone who just died with this, so its a bit fresh in my mind and doesnt help the anxiety. My wrist has been playing up for months, and hasnt got any worse. Balance and speech is fine. (Well unless im really stressed). Muscle strength is still the same as it has been.
