Hi there! No other symptoms. Simply just weakness in legs and decreased range of motion. I have gotten bloodwork done of muscle enzymes, general inflammation markers, and for myositis. All came back normal. I am trying to find a neuromuscular doctor but the soonest appointment in the area so far is in March...I may try a functional/integrative doctor to see if they can help.

Did you get MRIs of cervical/lumbar spine and hips to see if there is any spinal cord nerve compression or soft tissue injury? Have you had a neurologist do EMGs/nerve conduction studies of lower limbs? Have you had bloodwork panels done for peripheral neuropathy?

In general, whenever the appointment is too far out, I always ask to be put on cancellation list. If they don’t have one, I keep calling back and asking office staff to check for cancellations for a sooner appointment. Good luck!
