Hi,
I have been reading posts here for a few months and would like yours opinion on my symptoms.
31, male
Started in june 2016: my foot felt limp. I could walk normal but for some reason it felt more difficult. This held for about a month. In the months that followed I started to get mild cramps, mainly in my left calf, twitching in different areas from time to time, stifness and a irritated muscle in my right underarm.
Went to my gp who did some blood tests (were okay) and referred me to a physiotherapist to treat my arm, and I have been to an osteopath. Both indicated a high muscle tone and brisk reflexes. All symptoms never disappeared really and the last months my muscles are faster tired then before with often muscle pain in legs and arms.
Next month I will have an appointment with a neurologist.
Could this be (the early stage of) ALS?
