Hey everyone. I got a second opinion from another neuro, too. He suspected MS but said since my MRI was clean that rules it out. I asked him about ALS. He laughed and said, "We'll check for that but it's unlikely. He said ALS patients can experience pain..but that's when the disease has rapidly progressed and the muscle has weakened. He said he didn't see any normalities during my exam. He ordered an MRI on my lower back and an EMG to rule out anything major. I'm crossing my fingers.
