    Leg pain

    I have been having calf pain. Also legs feel heavy, shaky, hard to walk on, sometimes weird vibrating/tingly pain. Does this sound like ALS? I am going to a doctor anyway, but just wanted your thoughts. If not i will go away.

    Swollen feet?

    I really don't think this is likely related to my ALS degeneration (which seems to be accelerating in my right arm and in leg pain), but since I have recently started the Riluzole maybe it is a side effect. Thoughts? Thanks, Max
