Long term muscle twitching, some pain, no help yet
Hello All. First time joining a forum like this. One year ago, I started wide spread muscle twitching. Just over my knee for 2-4 weeks and then - boom - my whole body was twitching non stop. Dr ran some blood tests, which were all fine except some minor inflammation. Referred me to a neurologist but it took 7 months to get the appointment. Over the past year, the twitching is daily but it isn’t non stop anymore. Sometimes one area is worse (last week my left elbow area, past couple of days, my right biceps). Legs are every day. I get some weird sensations in my feet and toes sometimes and zingers - painful electric shock like pain that jerks my muscle - but those are only 5-10/week. Neuro exam was fine - I have perceived weakness but not overt weakness. My EMG/NCS isn’t scheduled for another 7 weeks (13+ months after things started). When a new twitch pops off (like in my arms the last few weeks) I get scared about ALS. I’ve tried to learn more about BFS but there’s not a lot out there. I have notable less muscle in my non-dominant hand and a low level of pain daily. Hoping someone else has experienced something similar while I wait the 7 weeks for my EMG/NCS…. Both looking forward to getting some answers and am nervous about what those answers may be.
