Could this be als?
I have constant twitching in my thighs, calf and foot on both legs, flexing my thighs makes my muscles Go crazy and the twitching gets worse, Almost like a jitter. Both of my legs feel weak and I have to look down when walking or I’ll trip ( maybe that’s anxiety) my fingers also feel very crampy and stiff and I tend to drop things when I never did before. I went to the doctors numerous times and they don’t know what it could be, my reflexes in my legs and arms were all normal. I asked to be referred to a neurologist ( have to in canada) and he told me it’s over a 2 year wait to see one and get an emg. I found that ridiculous as I want to get one and ease my mind about what’s going on. Does this sound like als and any suggestions about getting an emg done in Canada quicker ? Thanks everyone!
