First Of All My Heart Goes Out To Anyone With This Horrible Disease. I Am A 37yo Male with a strong family history of Als...every person that I have known of on My fathers side has died from this disease between 55+62 years of age. He is 62 now so im often worried. Anyways..ive been having a pain in my lower neck and slightly into my left shoulder. It hurts to hold my head up. Ive been having the pain for a couple months now....it went away (mostly but not completely) for a few days and now it is back and hurts just as bad. I thought it could be a pulled muscle because i did take a fall, but my neck did not hurt until about a month after my fall. Then A couple/few weeks ago in the middle of the day my jaw just started hurting really bad for no apparent reason. hurts really bad when i yawn and i hear a slight clicking sound. So now I Have a few problems going on at once. Has anyone else had symptoms like these with the onset? The doc said it could be an infection or tmj, but said i have a 50/50 chance of getting it anyway because its in my family. He made me a neurologist appt....but i was afraid to go. Any thoughts on my symptoms would be appreciated. thank you.
