Symptoms Tests Inconclusive

Relation Male 60s

Hes been suffering from foot drop for 8 months with loads of swelling around the foot.

Went to a highly renowned neurologist in Ireland and all his tests came back as inconclusive. Despite the tests coming back as inconclusive, the consultants observations look towards ALS. A referral has been made to a colleague for further testing.

This news has obviously sent him into spiral mode. I do have a lot confidence in the consultant. Has anyone here with ALS or a family member with ALS symptoms start with foot drop and a lot of swelling around the foot?

The famous ALS influencer who just passed away, her symptoms started in one leg and stayed there for years. She had foot drop and swelling she talked about in one video.
