Hi,
I want to thank you all for taking the time to read my post and offer your advice/opinions.
I am a 32 year old female and I delivered a baby 8 weeks ago. 6 weeks ago I started having pain in the very top of my posterior thigh and groin area on the left side. Over the next few days I started having muscle aches and feeling of tightness in my left thigh and left calf all the way down to my left foot. I also had several episodes of muscle twitching in my left thigh, left calf and left foot. Over the past 6 weeks the muscles in my left leg ache and burn after I’ve been up moving/walking. It feels like the muscles in my left leg get tired or worked out more than my right side.
I have also been having occasional muscle twitches all over my body from my eyelids, arms, hands, legs and feet. I saw my primary care doctor 2 weeks after this started and she tested my strength, reflexes etc and said everything was normal. She drew a CK level which was normal. Vitamin D level was low. She started me on vitamin D high dose for 8 weeks and said this was most likely causing my symptoms. I’ve been on it for 5 weeks now with no improvement.
This week I’ve started feeling like the muscles in my left arm are now aching and burning and tiring out faster than my right arm. The muscle twitches have become more frequent all over this week as well. The twitches start and stop but some have lasted a day or 2 in one area before stopping.
With your knowledge and experience, do these symptoms sound concerning or consistent with early signs of ALS?
