I experience the same thing. If i put my elbows on my desk, my bicep/tricep or hand muscles will twitch. If it cross my legs, my feet or thighs will twitch. If i hold my cellphone for awhile, my thenar will twitch. It's pretty un-nerving and stresses me out, but I'm at the 15 month point as...

Afternoon Guitarguy,Just wanted to let you know that your symptoms mirror mine and that i just saw a specialist at Geisinger (8/27 - 3rd opinion) and Hershey (Penn State - Today... 14 month follow up). Doctor at Gesinger said there is no way in hell i have ALS, and the doc at Hershey said 99%...

Guitarguy, I feel as though im in the same boat as you.... 4 clean emgs (last one in April), but my hand twitches started back again last friday both on the thenar and the muscle under the pinky. I also had my 1 year anniversary yesterday and had a 4+ month hot spot on the muscle above my elbow...

Stil twitching all over randomly a few times a day. My feet go non-stop 24/7 and my left hand twiches on both the pinky muscle side and thenar....feels weaker, looks thinner, forarm looks thinner but i had an emg on the troubled area as recently as April and all was clean. That makes 4 clean...

Really good hear Sanje. Hope you start feeling better soon.

Alright.... just had my fourth emg at nearly 10 months. Showed mild ulnar neuropathy, but again no needle test abonormalities (not even a fasciculation). Getting referred to a neurosurgeon for the elbow but the specialist who did my EMG said No ALS and that i have BFS and that it's unrelated...

Thank you so much for the responses Yulisar and Vince. Vince, I'm so sorry, I just read about your condition. I'll be sure to keep you and your family in my prayers as you continue your couragous fight and hope that it's a very slow progressing form to which treatment becomes available in the...

At 8 months after onset of fasciculation, how reliable is a clean emg? I had an entire side of my body done, including my back, and it came back clean. That made me feel a little better, but the twitching and weakness feelings continue. Is 8 months enough time to wait to be sure im in the...

Im in the same boat brother. broke my nose/face in july14' ... had surgery And ive been a twitching mess ever since. I used to lift heavy 3-4 nights a week and do moderate cardio. My cardio isnt bad but i just cant seem to regain the muscle ive lost. Ive had 3 clean emgs at 1,3,&8 months...

I'm 32, and it's been 9 months after my twitching began and it's worse than ever. I twitch in both feet (right 24/7), shoulders, left eye, thighs, forearms, and my left hand webbing between the thumb and index finger. My first emg was of my left arm 2 months in, second was a month later on the...

My blood panel came back yesterday and I had a high RH factor and my Rheumy put me on plaqinel. Does anyone else have (or heard of) RH factor causing body wide muscle twitching and cramping? I feel like my ring finger and pinky on my left hand have lost grip strenghth, but in my opinion it...

I'm like having a meltdown today. It's been a solid 5 months since my twitching has started in my triceps on both arms. It's since progressed to my foot arches/soles, shoulders, and now my left hand is cramping and twitching on the pinky side constantly and my thenar periodically. I've had...

Anyone get twiching in the muscle that runs along your pinky side of your hand? Anytime i hold onto glass/smart phone or type it goes crazy.

I've had constant 24/7 twitching in 2 spots (right tricep and right foot) accompanied by random twitching in other place. Neuros said it was BFS. I couldn't take it anymore and went to see a new GP who gave me Valium on Tuesday. Haven't had a twitch since about an hour after taking it...

I'm a 31/m and I was pretty active, usually playing sports about 5 nights a week until i got my face smashed playing flag football (ikr... flag) and had surgery on 7/2 to repair the damage. I wasn't allowed to lift weights or exercise while I healed. So about two weeks after I got hit, my left...
