A 36 yo female, until last Feb was healthy and exercised 7 days a week. Renal failure 2/09. That resolved and I had my GB removed in May 2009. At the end of June, I thought I developed bilateral shin splints from trying to get back into exercising as every time I did, both calves hurt and hips and buttocks as well. At the end of June had horrible bilateral calf pain, which I went to the ER for. Told I had hyperreflexia, + Hoffman and clonus.  MRI of my brain (normal) MRIs of my back showed cervical bulging, herniations indenting cord at T5-6 and T2-3 with L5-S1 bulge with annular tear.  I had 4 EMG/NCVs with the first on July 2, 2009 showing mild right carpal tunnel, the 2nd on July 16 showing only polyphasic with normal motor recruitment in extensor hallucis longus.  The dr said it was consistent with mild L5 radiculopathy. The 3rd was done at John hopkins on 07/28/09 of 3 extremities was normal. The 4th done 9/1 of 3 extremities and was normal. Skin biopsy for neuropathy and spinal tap were normal. Blood work normal. During this time pain I had in my calves had moved up my body with severe bilateral leg burning and tingling, I thought I would go in sane. I developed horrible burning groin and rectal pain with pain on bilateral buttocks and underneath & diminished sensation when having to use bathroom.  Toes go numb and tingling when I sit at all.  For 2 months I have had widespread muscles twitches in legs, feet, hands, face, back, chin arms and once in a while in abdomen. My hands seem very stiff and neck is very sore.  I think I see atrophy in my feet and hand, but am not sure.  Three neurologists said I dont have ALS but I dont believe it.  I am obsessed with this fatal disease and with my symptoms getting worse I am terrified.  I saw 4 surgeons who said the leg symptoms could be from the T5-6 herniation but wouldnt explain the arms. I have facial tingling and it will feel tight.  I know the say ALS is not sensory and I try to keep that in mind as this exacerbation started with the bilateral pain.  When flex my feet I feel pins and needles in big toes. Sometimes have pins and needles in feet on bottom when I walk.  I am going to go to the Mayo clinic because I dont know where to turn. Does this sound like ALS or my back?  I had aches and pains before and I remember that several months before this I felt like muscles were tight, but I thought it was from exercising. I am scared I have ALS and it is just too early for it to show on EMG.
