muscle wasting

I want to preface my first post here to say that my concern has led me to investigate about ALS in a way that makes me feel a deep sympathy for everyone affected by ALS (whether in his/her own flesh, or through a family member.) I also want to help those who make this forum possible. I will...

I’m sorry to be back but, I feel as if things could be progressing. I’ve noticed what I believe to be muscle wasting of the outer muscles on my right foot. I also have a large “dent” in my calf. My whole leg feels unstable and fatigued. I walk on my instep and I’m afraid this is happening...
