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 |
