I guess I should start with a brief history. I am a 30 year old female. About a year ago I went to the doctor for a stiff neck and swollen lymphnode behind my ear. I also had a spot on my leg that was tingling and muscle twitching. My GP said it was anxiety, but he sent me to a neurologist. The neuro did a brief EMG on my arms a nerve conduction on my arms and an EEG. All were normal including blood tests.
This summer i noticed that my right calf and thigh are a little smaller than my left, i still have twitching in various spots including legs and face (sometimes my jaw). I have ringing in my ears and shakey vision. I also have leg pain, muscular and joint in both legs and chronic headaches. I started to look up symptoms of twitching on the internet in august and ALS came up. so of course i looked for atrophy and noticed the size difference. My question is if I had atrophy in my right leg would there be profound weakness? would I be able to walk or run or go up on my toes and heels? I dont think i have weakness, but my muscle do fatigue after exertion like stairs or bending. Could the size differenc just be asymmetry or just a difference in muscle bulk? I am so scared right now. Sorry this is so long but I could use some input!! thank you.

I think I should mention that i do have cervical buldging disks and lower back pain often.
