I came to conclusion that it is often case that both symptoms of multiple sclerosis (a central demyelization process with a tendency to cause both motor and sensory abnormatilities) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (which affects both upper and lower motor neurons) are similar to spondylotic myelopathy ( myelomalacia).What are symptoms of spondylotic myelopathy?

Well you should know that cervical spondylotic myelophaty (myelomalacia) can cause variety of symptoms and some of them can last for years. Here are some: pain in neck, sub-scapular area, shoulder; sensory changes in lower extremities, motor weakness in the upper or lower extremities; numbness or parenthesis in the upper extremities; gait difficulties, like “spastic gait” that is broad-based, hesitant and jerky; upper extremity hypo- reflexia and atrophy, also bladder and bowel dysfunction may occur.
