Hello everyone,
My name is Philip, I am from Germany (hence the username) and 36 years old.
I have read the sticky post and would say, based on my symptoms (so far) - I should not trouble you with this thread. However, within this forum, there are also multiple threads that contradict the sticky post (a bit) and right now I am very anxious about my symptoms and would appreciate some insight.
Roughly 2 weeks ago, I developed a dull soreness/pain im my frontal right thigh above the knee. I did not do any excercise before, that could account for the soreness (I did, however do some very heavy lifting one week prior - without noticeable pain). For the last two weeks I have felt this soreness/tightness and numbness (in the muscle, not on the skin) in other parts of my right leg, mostly while lying down - in the upper calf, the backside of my thigh and the butt-cheek. I also feel dull pain while flexing the thigh (e.g. standing on the affected leg and doing one-leg squats). It was almost gone in two days, but not completely and returned both times the following day. Two days ago, I went for a small run (the first in a long time) that I could do with only a little pain in my thigh and in my lower back - but since then I have increased pain in my thigh and back and also some sporadic twitching in my thigh while lying down.
So far, I did not notice any weakness or atrophy in legs and feet and no symptoms in my arms, hands or with speech or swallowing. No tripping, falling or dropping things and - apart for a very slight limp because of the thigh pain - no change in gait.
I am worried, because I can't see any immediate cause for my symptoms and the do not seem to alleviate for now. I am missing some symptoms for explanations like sciatica and I have read some posts on this forum that described the onset of ALS in their cases with pain and localized twitching. I have been very anxious about this for the last days and could not really sleep/think about much else - that's why I decided to ask for advice here.
I have not yet seen a physician about this.
Any advise on this is highly appreciated. Should I worry about a MND with those symptoms?
Thank you and best regards and wishes,
Philip
