So I'm not going to pretend I know alot about Als. I know it's something I'm scared of, something I dont want to have.
However I have been experiencing nerve problems. Notably pain in both my arms, wrists and hands. Now I know it could be a lot of things, arthritis and carpul tunnel. I had an mri of my head back in 2016. It did show some disc in my neck were pressing on nerves.
My question is I guess, should I be worried I have Als with these symptoms? I'm 35, male, I use my hands alot for work. I'm sorry, I'm not trying to make light of such a serious illness. I live in Pennsylvania and my medical insurance isnt the greatest.
So I'm hoping to find some relief in those more knowledgeable. I dont know what to make of it plus I suffer with pretty bad anxiety and depression both of which have been through the roof of late.
Thanks to any who are willing to help me out. Its greatly appreciated. Happy holidays.
