I am posting for a friend who.is having unusual symptoms and is afraid it might be early ALS, she does havens family history, I think her.aunt passes.away in her late thirties from it. The problems started with tingling and aching in her hands and arms that essentially just.come and go, will last.for.hours or will not present for hours. At times the way she describes the.hand pain it sounds similar to Carper tunnel.but isn't limited(.to.just those areas. The day after.experiencing that.she started.getting tingling and similar dull pains in her feet/ankle areas. She hasn't complained of.any weakness or loss of strength. These symptoms having been going on for a few days.now.off and.on and I know she's having a lot of anxiety due to it aswell. I finally convinced her to set up an appointment with her Doctor over it. Do any of these symptoms point to ALS as a possibility? Sorry I am sure You guys are tired of questions like this but I am just trying to get any insight to possibly calm her nerves until she gets seen. Thank you.
