Spasms are sometimes accompanied by elevated blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, and sweating. [6] Some experience chronic muscle pain. [6] The muscle stiffness initially fluctuates, sometimes for days or weeks, but eventually begins to consistently impair mobility. [7]
Prognosis: Life expectancy highly variable but typically 2–4 years after ... and muscle spasms throughout the body due to the degeneration of the upper motor and ...
MMN usually involves very little pain; however, muscle cramps, spasms and twitches can cause pain for some people. MMN is not fatal, and does not diminish life expectancy. Many patients, once undergoing treatment, only experience mild symptoms over prolonged periods, though the condition remains slowly progressive.
NMT is a diverse disorder. As a result of muscular hyperactivity, patients may present with muscle cramps, stiffness, myotonia-like symptoms (slow relaxation), associated walking difficulties, hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), myokymia (quivering of a muscle), fasciculations (muscle twitching), fatigue, exercise intolerance, myoclonic jerks and other related symptoms.
muscle weakness; muscle atrophy; fasciculations; Some patients have symptoms restricted only to the arms or legs (or in some cases just one of either). These cases are referred to as flail limb (either flail arm or flail leg) and are associated with a better prognosis. [1]
Prognosis: Life expectancy 6–12 years after onset of symptoms: Frequency: 5 per 100,000 people: ... slow movement, muscle rigidity, postural instability ...
(D) Advanced thenar muscle atrophy. [8] Signs and symptoms depend on the specific disease, but motor neuron diseases typically manifest as a group of movement-related symptoms. [6] They come on slowly, and worsen over the course of more than three months. Various patterns of muscle weakness are seen, and muscle cramps and spasms may occur.
Prognosis depends on the individual form of muscular dystrophy. Some dystrophies cause progressive weakness and loss of muscle function, which may result in severe physical disability and a life-threatening deterioration of respiratory muscles or heart. Other dystrophies do not affect life expectancy and only cause relatively mild impairment. [2]
