He said that just off the top of his head thinks it could be myositis or something along the lines of unbalance of spinal fluid. I forget exactly what the wording was.

He also looked at my thoracic spine mri and said my bulging disc was a lot worse than he thought it would be.

He also said I was hyper reflexive on my left side. I definitely noticed it. When he hit the top of my knee on my right side it did the normal kick but when he did my left knee my leg kicked all the way up so that it was straight. It startled him, I don’t think he expected that.

He said it was my whole left side but I wasn’t really paying attention until my leg kicked like that.

I’m getting another emg on Friday, a spinal tap soon, and some more blood work done.

He said that these first tests have a good likelihood of showing nothing. At least I’m finally gettting tests done
