Hello,
I am a 26 year old male. For the past 4 or 5 months I have noticed my right quad/thigh area significantly smaller than my left (possible atrophy) My right thigh and quad have become increasingly stiff (especially in the morning) making it more difficult than usual to walk/run. I am still able to go on walks/runs but it's more difficult than it used to be, with muscle stiffening. I also feel quite weak after working out. My left side feels completely fine. I have involuntary body movements at random times during the day/at work. My right knee reflex is quite brisk, with my left knee reflex is normal. My right foot plantar reflex is rather dull. I continue to hope this all gets better, but it has not. I see my general practitioner tomorrow. Do any of these symptoms sound like ALS? Thank you for your replies- I do not mean to waste anyone's time. God Bless.
