Distal fatigue, Painful Calves
Hi all new to the forum. My name is Cal.
Over a year ago I started out by having sore calves.
I was a keen runner then all of a sudden i couldn't run as it felt like both my calves were about to give out. I noticed that both calves had become sensitive to touch, like they were bruised or like muscles do the day after a heavy first gym session.
I quit running and instead moved to cycling, although i still had painful calves i was able to continue, and still can continue cycling.
I have some foot drop.
I am a computer programmer.
Earlier this year, overnight, my forearms suddenly stopped me from typing.
I can type for about 5 minutes before i feel the fatigue. Moving the mouse was much more difficult. This has not abated and i have now been without work for 4 months.
I have had MRI of full spine and brain. both normal.
Blood tests are normal except a slightly elevated CK. (very slightly)
I have had an EMG, which is normal.
I have had a muscle biopsy. I am awaiting results but i suspect (as does my neurologist) it too will be normal.
I'm at a bit of a loss what to do as when my muscle biopsy comes back normal, we may be at the end of the road. Diagnostically speaking.
I seem to have the symptoms only in my lower legs and lower arms.
I'm wondering if anyone else has similar symptoms and can shed any light?
Thanks
Cal
