Default Blood tests and MRI

Hi guys, as many of you know I have had moving body pain for 3 months-stabbing pains in my body. At the onset I also started to get extreme joint cracking everywhere. Now I have non stop little muscle twitches all over my body, I wake up at night and can still feel them. I am scared I have ALS.

This may be a dumb question but if I had ALS would anything odd have shown up in my head MRI or lower spine MRI? Also would anything have been off in my blood? Would my reflexes (the standard neuro in office test) be normal?

I go back to my neuro on Wed to request nerve testing (he basically dismissed my symptoms when I went-did ZERO tests on me aside from in office tests)

Thank you all very much...
