My first indication was drop foot in my left foot.  I had no previous injury or illness. I had completed a normal 30 minute session on my exercise bike and put up a security camera on ladders.  I then walked 1 1/2 miles to the school I worked at. When I got there I noticed zI could not lift my left foot.

Everybody thought I had trapped a nerve in my back and it took 14 months before I was diagnosed with MND.

Each time I saw a neurologist I was told I would not suffer any pain due to MND.

I have to admit that on a day to day basis I do not have to take too many pain killers.  What I have found though is that as I have lost more use of my leg, I now find I am getting a lot more pain down my right arm and under my right arm pit.  I presume it is because I now have to use sticks and a leg brace to simply walk 15 steps, so it is the pressure down the right arm from carrying the left leg.
