So Im sure this probably isn't ALS....but I figured i'd double check the forums to get a small bit of relief.
About 8 months back (more or less) I noticed my legs would constantly feel sore in the morning, sometimes all day....sometimes just the morning. Same with my arms.
I can only describe is as a sort of growing pain like feeling, but they felt "tired" as well. especially my arms sometimes, they just feel like I just need to set them down.
The past month i've developed "thumb/finger" tremors, however it's only when I set them in a certain position or bend them a certain way. I did see the Neuro, since my main worry was MS (my tremors got worse when I took a hot shower etc). I didn't bring up PD or ALS but my MRI came back clean (he didnt think it was MS anyways). But the tremors have pretty much mostly subsided (they still come and go with stress), however my legs and arms still remain sore and tired everyday.
My neuro seemed to think maybe RLS (but just at night) but didn't do an EMG or anything. Im still able to walk and run up stairs, albeit ill be kinda sore afterwards. I can still do pullups, lift stuff fine. But I will experience a sort of muscle fatigue when im holding my arms up too much (like brushing my teeth and such). It doesn't prevent me from doing it......I just feel the tiredness in my muscles.
For reference I am a 26 Y/O Male, no family history of the disease. Otherwise it doesn't affect my everyday life besides just having muscle fatigue/soreness.
Any ideas? This has been going on for 6-7 months at least. Im thinking maybe BFS......but I never brought up anything to the Neuro as the "Sore leg" syndrome was brought up secondary to my Tremors (which is what I saw him originally for). Surely after 7 months if I had ALS I prolly wouldn't be able to do 5 pullups correct? Is this just "perceived" weakness I am feeling. Sorry for the long post and thanks!
