Pain and Stiffness, slow and tired Muscles

[sizzmic]

Hello, I am turning to this forum in desperation because I am very afraid of ALS and unfortunately some of my symptoms point to this disease.

I have the following symptoms:

Stiffness in almost all muscles
Muscle twitching all over the body
Arms, legs, torso, buttocks / very strong after waking up.
Cardiac arrhythmias
Pain in all muscles
Tired Muscles
Globus sensation in the throat
Tense and tense muscles with a slight tendency to cramp
fatigue
Gastrointestinal complaints

The first time I had muscle twitches was about 8 years ago.
Now this muscle stiffness has come along with pain and an old man feeling.

I saw several neurologists at the time.
An EMG and NLG was also carried out 6 years ago, which was fine.
I recently went back to a neurologist who did simple tests without repeating an EMG.
I am now waiting for an appointment at a neuromuscular clinic to do further tests.

How would you rate my chances that the tests might ultimately reveal ALS?
What does typical ALS muscle stiffness look like?

Thank you!

Almost nil

Stiffness is a very poor description of a clinical finding called spasticity Your neurologist’s “ simple test” would have found it if you had it. Twitching without clinical weakness is common and not concerning. Pretty much everything on your list is not a symptom of ALS ALS is not a disease that starts with pain We feel fine. Things just don’t work
