I have not been on this forum for some time, but I like to come back and see posts from oldtimers and newcomers alike. I still recall the day I found this forum and the help it gave me mentally to get beyond what was, at that time, an almost debilitating anxiety over what was going on with my...

Nige,I was at my doctor just on Friday regarding my lower back pain. I had a recent episode where the inflammation was so bad that I had to crawl to the washroom in the middle of the night. That sucked. But, it seems like we are getting somewhere with that pain. I had xrays on Friday and go...

All,Sorry for the rediculous delay in response to your posts. I just moved, changed jobs and have been so busy that I just didn't get it done. Not good.My twitches ( and I still have them ) are in the following areas:- arches of my feet. 24/7 - i also get cramping in my feet and toes...

Well I haven't been in on the forum for a while. I haven't needed to. But, I still say that this forum was what saved me from going crazy. Thank you to all of you who provided words of encouragement and shared your stories.Here is a brief history of my story....Two years ago I started...

Luis, I've been going through similar things as you for almost 1 year. It wasn't until I went to my Neuro that I stopped worrying about it. You have BFS, just like the rest of us here. You don't have to see a Neuro likely, but it may ease your mind if you do. Peter

Thanks Troy, I always appreciate your posts. You truly come across as a caring individual, which I am sure you are. While the symptoms continue on, knowing that it is not life threatening does make it easier to deal with, even though they are annoying. I have been in the position you are...

The prices are high make no mistake. That's why I moved to a smaller community about an hour outside of Toronto. Go Flames Go!! I was in Calgary in December and got to see a game!! The Saddledome is a ton of fun! TrisTrip - Read you post regarding the Triathalon. I have been training over...

Will, The term is globus sensation. You're all right too mate. Peter

Pete, I had the same fear. Checked many times a day. I have had this now for 6 months and nothing has changed. My left calf is almost a half an inch smaller than my right. My left forearm and bicep are also smaller. Nobody is completely symetrical. Which is your dominant side? Do you...

Mark, This happened with me for almost 3 months. I am convinced it is your anxiety. If you can get that under control, then I think you will much better off. I had to clear my throat constantly, and felt as though there was a lump in my throat. It never bothered me when I was relaxed or...

Mark, Your symptoms are almost identical to mine. My calfs are sore, tight and periodically cramp. My hamstrings also get sore, particularly after driving in the car and/or sitting. Where is your twitching? Do you also get it in your feet? That is where mine started. I have it there 24/7...

Springbock, I too have a difference in my calf size. I haven't had my EMG yet, but it is coming in Feb. I have had the twitching as you have had for 4 months. I am right dominant, and my right calf is almost a half inch smaller in diameter. My doctor paid no heed to that and there is no...

NC123, I have had this feeling a few times in my calfs, and more recently with my abdominal muscles after running. Are your calfs really sore to touch? Peter

Tex - I know exactly what you mean. I have had these similar symptoms for several weeks on and off. No trouble swallowing or talking, but and annoying feeling. Actually, it feels better after I eat or drink. I think it is anxiety mate. But the more it happens, the more you think about it!

Mark, Indeed. I get twitches everywhere. Forehead, nose, ears, neck - you name it. Peter
