living with ALS

Pennsylvania


Over a year and a half I started to develop L drop foot and saw a local neurologist and orthopedic surgeon.

Over a year and a half I started to develop L drop foot and saw a local neurologist and orthopedic surgeon. I had an MRI of my spine and x-rays showed arthritis in the spine, L hip and L knee. Saw neurosurgeon in April of 2022 who did conductivity test of legs and determined that L peroneal nerve was impacted and surgery would release it.

Did not receive relief after 6 months and finally went to Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, MD and went through many tests and was diagnosed on 12/6/22 with ALS.
