I saw my neuro today and got what I thought was a great report. My MRI hasn't changed much since September and my clinical exam was negative. In passing, she mentioned that my right thenar prominence was atrophied compared to my left. She asked me if I have ever had carpal tunnel - I haven't. THen she just remarked that it was weird. I went home and of course googled thenar atrophy. To my horror, I found many a page that listed thenar atrophy as one of the first signs of ALS. Now I'm freaking out. Does anyone know anything about this? I don't feel like I have muscle wasting anywhere else, nor do I notice any hand weakness.
Thanks!
