Is this ALS?

Hi: Several months ago I experienced sudden urinary frequency which went on for about a month. My GP found a large amount of protein in the urine and referred me to a specialist. During this time I noticed that I had lost some muscle mass in my chest area and around my thighs. My legs would shake at times when I was walking and I was tripping sometimes during my daily walks. I also had two falls in my shower. I have also noticed that my feet do not fit in my shoes - they seem too big. I am also experiencing a large amount of twitching on different parts of my body. I know what loss of muscle mass is not good so I am really scared. What do you make of these symptoms? Should I be seeing a neurologist? Thanks for your help.
