Lately I have been having left shoulder pain, I still have full range of motion, no loss of strength, and in the past few days I have had left forearm pain, and a sensation of stiffness, it is very brief, such as when I go to stand up and use my left hand, my fingers and hand feel stiff for just a brief second, then go to normal, or sometimes they just feel like they are having a hard time getting to moving, such as when I retract my hand my fingers might act like they are slow to retract back to the palmar surface, and I have been having my tendons hurt just below the elbow and a mild burning. The sensation feels like it is in the outermost layer of my arm, close to the skin surface. I have not had twitches or a pins and needles feeling.
I should say that I have mild throacic scoliosis, and have full strength and range of motion in my left hand and arm. And I play guitar, and have no problems playing it correctly and all of my fine motor control is intact. I am wondering if this is one of the early warning signs of ALS. I have no other motor dysfunction than the brief stiff period and the sensation of mild burning in the outermost layer of the ventral side of my left forearm.
Any ideas or suggestions?
