Did I just ask a ridiculous question? No one can comment. I could use the advice before my June neurologist appoint, which is for a different degenerative neurological disorder.

I don't want to go into the June appt seeming like an alarmist over something that sounds so simple...just a weak ankle and twitching muscles in the same leg.

I did do my homework before asking the above question and there are patients in the world with both diseases/conditions.

I just got online and saw your post..I don't think this is a ridiculous question..Seeing a neurologist would be what I suggest so you're already a step ahead..

I have Restless leg where my leg will twitcha nd jerk and I have to move it or I get this really weird but awful feeling until I move..I have also had the stumbling and weak legs..I see a Neurologist and am on Requip for the RLS (restless leg syndrome) I don't know if you can relate to my issue but if you can you are headed int he right direction regardless..I hope you get answers grandmaC..

Thank you for the reply. I have PD and RLS too. I clearly understand the have to move it or else comment. RLS is a very, very uncomfortable feeling. It bothers me the most when I have been on my feet a good deal during the day.

I am very concerned (and a bit scared) about the weakness of my left ankle and the twitching muscles in my left calf. I can ONLY assume the two are related.

I read recently that there are 81 patients in the world that have both MS and PD...I certainly don't need to be #82!!

Don't hold anything back from your neurologist...he/she will be the one to make the decision whether it is related or not...

It could be the one piece of the puzzle that is needed to make a correct diagnosis.

Good Luck,

Keep me posted..Hope all goes well at your appointment..I agree tell Neuro. all and let he pieces fall together..
