A little over 4-months ago, I went for a run and started having tingling in my feet that developed into pain so severe that it became very difficult to walk. I saw a podiatrist he said it may be plantar fasciitis and Tarsal Tunnel. Some of the symptoms spread to my leg and he referred me to a neurologist. I also began to develop back and neck pain and was referred by my primary care to a neurosurgeon. The neurosurgeon ruled out any issues in my cervical and/or lumbar spine. The neurologist did a EMR on my lower extremities and ruled out Tarsal tunnel or neuropathy. I'm very nervous because I now have shooting pains into my fingers, hands as well as tingling sensations. I also experienced muscle weakness that comes and goes in my neck and now my legs. Still seeing the neurologist but still not getting any answers. So many of my symptoms seem consistent with ALS but there are also others that do not. The really confusing part is that ALS presents differently in everyone so I'm not sure where I stand.
