My hands have been shaking and my thighs/knees are sore when i stand. i am concerned about als. should i worry?

No: I would not worry about it, there are many potential causes for what you are describing, most of which are much more common and less serious than als. But it might be good to be seen for a detailed history and exam and appropriator studies to determine the cause. Thank you for your question.
