Default How I found out

I went to my doc with some minor issues - a bit of numbness on the side of my thumb, a bit of a sore neck/shoulder, plus a bit of tightness in my hamstrings which was bothering me when I walked. I was sent for an MRI and voila. There was some edema in the cord which may have induced the symptoms. They mostly resolved. I don't know why. I have now had at least 6 MRIs and depending on who reads them the signs are more or less significant.

I still sometimes have some muscle pain in my shoulder and occasional twitches in muscles but otherwise am 100 percent. Lots of crepitus.

Sahuaro I'm curious about subtle weakening. How would I tell?
