Hi , I'm a 60 year old male who had some back ache for a few months. I went to my gp who sent me to ortho surgeon. The ortho rans multi scans of my spine and said they were ok. Now please keep in mind im heavily stressed about this. Only over past 2 weeks I noticed some left ankle pain n some aching fingers n joints. Blood y ywork ok. It wasnt until my final visit to ortho I noticed my left leg was considerably smaller than right . My calf is smaller n bellow the calf is even more smaller than right. I would say by 1.5 inches in diameter. I showed it to ortho and he seemed concerned and told me it looks
Like muscle wasting and refereed me to neurologist. Its been 10 days now and it's seems a little smaller and it hurts to walk on..I seem to be walking a little strange. I have an emg scheduled for May 4th.
I'm extremely nervous .also feel like my movements aren't smooth but I'm watching everything I do also .. so scared ALS..
Sorry for this long post....
