So, while not definitive from a diagnostic standpoint - the presence of pain or other sensory symptoms tends to point away from MND. (That seems to match up with what your doctor told you.)
Thank you. I have heard that too all over the place. I def have pain that only gabapentin can help. Oral Cortisone didn't take it all away, all other meds (Ibuprofen, etcetera) were useless. I posed above, when my neck hurts, there goes my arm pain again. Will see what the neuro surgeon says on Monday. I appreciate everyone's attention and support! I would invite you all over for dinner if I could!
