Hello everyone and thank you for responding,
My name is Sam and I am 21 years old. For the past month I have been dealing with a tight feeling in my calf that has gone up to behind my knee to the hamstring. This feeling randomly sprung up one day laying in bed. It sometimes feels like pain but I’m not sure if this is just a constant spasticity or cramp. I have also had some twitching in the calf area. I was wondering if any of these symptoms ring of how ALS may present. I still can walk normally climb stairs etc. I have spoken to my PCP once to which they first sent me for an ultrasound to rule out DVT which was ruled out. Now I am questioning if I should call back and get a referral to a neurologist or try to rest it on my own. Thank you very much and I very much so appreciate you taking the time to answer my concerns.
