Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Its a progressive motor neuron disease.
2. It is not related to either the rod in leg or bone infection.
3. It has no specific cause, and is mainly genetic
4. Symptomatic treatment and management of complications is necessary.
5. Bone infection culture and sensitivity can help in identification of appropriate antibiotics. Eat healthy, stay active along with reduction of stress and good sleep. This will help.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
