Could it just be nerve damage/pinched nerve because I can feel it up to my neck on my left side. It’s only affecting the left side. I’m supposed to see the doctor Thursday but I’m scared as ****. Was having headaches and at times feel Nauseous.
Please help.

if you're having pain its not going to be als.. you can have some type of spondylosis or nerve entrapment

if you had als, you wouldn't be complaining of leg strain or pain. you'd be complaining about your legs straight up not working.
