question: I have a history of neurological illnesses in my family. I have severe neck problems and have had 3 surgeries. My current visit to the orthopedic neurosurgeon s office is now sending me to a neurologist. She thinks it s something more than a neck problem. Symptoms- Severe neck pain, muscle twitching and cramping, mostly in right hand and right foot, but also facial muscle spasms. Any thoughts? Dad passed with ALS.
