Early ALS Signs?

Lately I have been experiencing localized twitches, which I'm assuming are fasciculations in my body.  They are mostly in my legs, specifically one, but sometimes the other and sometimes throughout the rest of my body.  The leg that seems to get the majority of them is also sore from time to time and I even feel a warm sensation going down it at times.  I haven't noticed any weakness or problems with stumbling or anything yet.  Should I be concerned with ALS as a possibility? Would the fasciculations show up before weakness or atrophy?  And would they be spread throughout the body while seeming to be more consistent in the one particualr limb?

Didn't you just ask the doctor this question yesterday and get an answer? You should probably keep follow up questions in the same thread that you started earlier.

sorry, new to this whole system and this was an elaboration on yesterday's question.  i wasn't sure if the followup question would get answered if i kept that thread going

No need for an apology, I wanted to help because usually the doc will re-look at his previous posts for follow up.

Hopefully he answers you again....
