Default Really worried

I started having a strange sensation of feeling like my legs were going to give out after a bout of headaches. I saw a neuro who did office exam and said try vitamins. Then I got weird surges through arms and legs and little weakness. Neuro ordered brain MRI, bloodwork and emg. I am waiting for EMG this Thursday and then I get all the results so I have nothing yet. In the meantime all symptoms have subsided except now just my left leg feels weak when walking and my calf is achy and twitching. It is 1/4" smaller than my right and shaped differently. I am terrified of this being ALS and have no answers to help guide me to know better or worse. My calf has been twitching about 3 days now. I had some burn and ache in hip and pain down leg but that is better. Just an achy twitching calf.

Does this sound like ALS?

I'm really worried.

I can stand on tip toes. Lunge. Walk. Lift toes. The only things I notice is that my right calf is bigger and more pronounced. I can flex it and feel it flex in ways I can't feel my left calf flex or move.

So scared!!
