I remember looking at my legs and thinking what the hell is going on with my lower legs, ankles and feet about a year ago - even before the sfn pain set in.
Sorry if you have already told me Ken, but were you able to confirm atrophy in your case via a firm diagnosis such as emg or was it your own observations. I don't know what is happening to my legs and bum but something's going on above the sfn.
with an acute onset of wasting was what I was told by a new Neuro at the SW Medical Ctr in Dallas. No wires or needles but she knew her stuff. She examined me thoroughly and made me push and pull on her for physical testing. My falling started early on before I had a chance to lose very much weight. It took about a 8 months to reach bottom with leg strength and start improving. If I remember you are 2+ years? I wish I could give constructive info. Good Luck, Ken in Texas.
