To @nutmeg: Your symptoms sound exactly like mine. I walk with walking sticks when I go for a walk, because I can’t do curbs, slanted surfaces, or gravel. I can motor on sidewalks, but am afraid to go without my walking sticks because of the possibility of the above obstacles.
I had a “negative “ EMG, but am questioning that answer: Twice during the procedure , my left thigh tightened to the point where I could not lift my leg. The tech and doctor were at my ankle level both times. I reported the spasm, but they ignored me both times and just continued the procedure.
I DO have an appointment at Mayo in Rochester this Wednesday, November 5th, and am very hopeful that I get a doctor who listens, is empathetic, and cares about what is happening to me.
Please reply to me. I really hope we can get help: I really want to golf, but that really throws me off balance.

Wishing you all the best for your appointment here at Mayo. That is where I work, but is also where my husband was diagnosed, in the Neurology Department. As you know, Mayo is known for listening, taking time with patients and finding answers.
