Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Multiple neurofibromas may cause compression over the nerves to cause pain and weakness. You may take pregabalin or gabapentin capsules to relieve the pain. However, if neurofibromas are big, surgery may be required to remove them.
Motor neuron disease (MND) may be treated with medications such as riluzole, along with physiotherapy & exercises. However, MND can not be cured.
If you can upload any MRI or EMG reports, they would help us in giving you further advice.
Please get back if you require any additional information.
Best wishes,
