Hi, I am a 37 years old male and am very worried I may have ALS or similar. About 8 weeks ago I began experiencing a sciatica like pain in my lower back that radiated down my right leg, it caused a certain degree of numbness and tingling and required pain relief to sleep at night. It resolved after 2 weeks and i was pain free.
Fast forward 8 weeks I have noted my right glute muscle has significantly wasted. I'm functioning fine but I have done some test to assess myself and noted the while I can stand on my tippy toes, my right hand side is weaker. I feel like my right calf is also slightly smaller than my left now. I am right side dominant so would not expect this.
It will be a number of weeks before I can get to a medical professional about this and I am very worried. I would like some feedback if possible.
