I have a question concerning a weak feeling in my left leg. How would weakness associated with ALS feel? For the past 4 days my left leg has felt weak. Not in terms of not being able to walk up stairs or having difficulty standing up from a seated position, but more a rubbery feeling. This feeling tends to be centered around the knee area. It's very similar to the "weak in the knees" feeling one gets from being nervous. If I perform a lunge (step forward with one leg and lower the opposite leg's knee to the floor), my left leg requires slightly more effort in returning to a standing position. The difference is slight. Muscle tone seems fine. I can walk on my toes and heels.
This started about 5 days after I saw a Neurologist from the CCF for muscle twitches/fasciculations. That was the third Neurologist I've seen over the past few months concerning my worry over having ALS. So far the concensous seems to be BFS. (Though none have seen any fascics during my office visit.)
I've been having head to toe muscle twitches/fascics since November. The original reason I started seeing a doctor was for hand tremors that have been present since at least spring of 2001.(dx polyminimyoclonus due to arm fascics)
My main quesion is does this sound like ALS or anxiety? I understand you can't give me a diagnosis, but your opinion would be much valued.
