    Am glad your biopsy results showed no mito. You must be relieved. I'm still waiting on the prelimary results of mine, 3.5 weeks and counting. Muscle dysfunction is my biggest and most painful problem. I've had spasms as long as I can remember and the muscle imbalance resulted in early onset osteoarthritis e.g. feet and toes denuded of cartilage by age 30. My skeletal muscle doesn't hold my bones in place anymore and the imbalance and resulting torquing is what causes the recurring subluxations and dislocations in my legs, shoulders, arms, spine, pelvis, hips, etc. I also get "rubberband-like slapping" in my joints, which is a kind of tendonitis from the chronic hypertonicity and spasticity. I have permanent contractures in my both shoulders and hips and in my back. Consequently, I can't sit for any length of time. Even a few minutes aggravates my sacroillitis and worsens my pelvic tilt and my scoliosis returns w/a vengence. Some days I can't drive due to the spasticity. And I haven't been able to bend w/my back for over two years now, and must ration how often I bend w/my knees - makes life a real pain. I'm sure you know the feeling.
