Hello,
I am a 40 year old male from Philadelphia.
I've been having the following strange symptoms for the past 3.5 years. I would like to know where this is consistent with ALS.
1) I have the sensation of weak legs. I was diagnosed with Femoral Acetabular Impingement (Hip Impingement) and flat feet on the left leg. This is causing nerve pain in the hip and foot. Can it be that the leg weaknesses caused this? I can still do basically everything but I feel I will fall one day.
2) My left arm feels weaker than the right. I get a sharp 1 sec cramp in my forearm when I work it out. This has also been going on for 3.5 years. Would this happen if someone had ALS? The anticipation for something to fail or does the person not feel anything and it just fails from one day to another?
3) My lips and tongue at times don't function properly particularly when it's cold outside (winter) or when I am stressed and anxious. Some other days, everything is good. This also has been going on for 3.5 years. Also, my vocal cords hurt when I talk for too long (like screaming at a concert). After resting, I feel okay but this is recurring.
4) I have twitches body wide. This has been going on for 3.5 years.
Thank you for your reply.
