Hello everyone,
My name is David and I am a 25 year old graduate student at Umass Boston, studying politics. I have been having some troubling symptoms lately and would really appreciate any words of wisdom from you guys. I have been experiencing some pretty severe lower back pain that is transient, sometimes it is so bad that I cannot get up while other times I feel great. I am also having some left hip trouble, sometimes when I stand up it feels like my hip is going to give out and I feel great pain causing me to limp when I walk. I also have been feeling a soreness in my calf muscles and in the back and front of my thigh and feel a burning sensation when I try and contract them. I have also been having muscle twitches in both of my legs and feet, sometimes they feel more than spams than twitchs though...are these symptoms something that is suggestive of ALS, I have really become scared it might be.
Thanks a lot everyone for taking the time to read this, I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season :smile:
Cheers,
David
