Jumping the gun: I suppose ALS can be considered but there are also a number of other causes for these symptoms as well. If this is a concern, ask your regular doctor to refer you to a neurologist.

Left calf pain and cramping pretty bad. Feels like tight muscles and there is pain with walking. Not excruciating but there is some discomfort putting weight on my leg while walking and standing. Should I be concerned? No injury to the leg. DVT?
