I don't have any money. I take care of my fiancée 24/7 and the only income is his ssi. That's not enough to pay our monthly bills. I guess I have to keep on searching for answers. Thank you

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,
Welcome at HCM.

I feel sorry to know about your fiancee.After tetraplegia such muscle movements may be fasciculation or fibrillations. This is not a good sign & it is seen in degenerative axons.You should consult to a neurologist for this.

Hope this will help you.

With best wishes.
