I started off with throat hurting and diarrhea for a month. Then one day I was home lifting weights for 8 hours I woke up with my chest burning I took two mortins and went to sleep.For the past 4 months I been having back pain chest pain shoulder pain with muscle weakness. I aso having problems breathing and swallowing while eating. My chest and and diagram hurt if I cough or yawn to hard.I went from 309 to 264. I seen a gi he did a endoscopy and colonoscopy everything came out ok. The ct scan came up good the only that said was I had a epi when they sent my poop off to the lab. I have seen a neurologist the nerve and emg showed I had carpal tunnel syndrome, hyperesthesia, and fasciculation-cramp. The cervical mri showed mild bulging disc v5,c6,c7but the neck look normal for my age at 34. My lumber disc should I had spondylolysis at l3,l4,l5 and it compressing on nerve. I was wondering my chances of having als. Could the bulging disc cause twitching and the burning , I also have tingling go down my right leg and feet. I had an ultrasound on my thyroid because I had half remember but now I have 2 enlarged nodules on the right side could that be causing the breathing problems while eating. All signs been pointing to als.
