Hi,
I am 31/male and have history of anxiety and hypochondria and I did have 2-3 bouts depression about ALS/tumors in the past 10 years.
For the past one week I have this feeling that my right leg is weaker or "wobbly" (as well as it seems to get tired faster). I went to neurologist today and expressed my concern and he did neurological test and said that there is nothing to indicate "upper or lower motor issues" or something like that. My reflexes are good, leg doesn't seem weaker and that I don't have neurological reflexes specific to ALS.
My question is: is it possible for first symptom of ALS to be so tiny that I can _feel_ it in my leg but it doesn't show up on neurological exams or you can't measure that weakness clinically?
Or do ALS symptoms usually manifest themselves firmly and clinically with the feeling of weakness?
Sorry if it is a silly question.
Thank you.
