Well, completed my third follow up and my fourth EMG. The news is very good. The EMG picked up the odd fasciculation but was benign. The neurologist's dx was BFS and I was released with no additional follow ups. The only advice the neurologist gave me was you do not have ALS and get on with your...

Well my anxiety is increasing as I look forward to my fourth EMG. My second visit nearly put me over the edge. The third visit brought me back to earth and now the fourth.My legs and feet really improved. Still twitching but no big deal. My only issue I cannot shake is my scalloped tongue. Words...

Thanks. Yes most likely will have another EMG. It will be my third time, fingers crossed.Pooler

Well the MRI didn't reveal anything except normal arthritis of the spine for a guy my age. My GP couldn't comment any further. Back to see the neuro Feb.22. Man, I was hoping something would show up.It's going to be a long 3 weeks waiting for that appointment. Pooler :' (

Can anyone include foot pain with this? First noticed the twitching about 6 months after foot pain. Still have the pains not as frequent. Went with a wider shoe, pediotrist recommendation.Hi's opionion on my feet completely contradicts my neuro. I'm siding with pediotrist.OMG still hanging in...

Well today is the day to find out my spine MRI results. If anyone read some of my previous posts will understand my concerns. Fingers crossed and hope this is a back problem. I researched over 10 million Americans suffer from spastic catch in the legs due to back issues. This is my main issue in...

Thanks guys, as always your comments are very reassuring. Also appreciate the humor. :D) :LOL: Does anyone get muscled twitches on the inside of the foot (both feet) in conjuction with the piano toes, lol. Ohhh and the calves?I am also experience cramps along the length of the foot, comes and...

Whewwwwwwwww sucks not being unique. If the BFS crowd is cool with this so am I.

This is weird. I noticed my big toe on both feet twitch, causing them to move left to right. It's not large movement but enough to be noticed by the average hypo. Does anyone else experience this along with foot and calf twitches?Cheers,Pooler

Have a very Merry Christmas everyone and enjoy the new year.Pooler

Hey Perform,Your post reminds me a lot of my symptoms (identical) . I also get the clicking in my throat from time to time but never constant. The only additional concern I have is with spasticity in my legs. No weakness just the constant twitching foot, calves, hand, eyes, etc, etc...

Hey Chrissi,Basically looking for someone on this forum that had this clinical test done to them. See defn':Spasticity” is defined as hypertonia in which 1 or both of the following signs are present: 1) resistance to externally imposed movement increases with increasing speed of stretch and...

Hey Raindog,TA, really appreciate the feed--backkk (hope it's my back). I'm scheduled for an MRI soon and hopefully the results are positive (i.e. back/spine prob). :unsure: Everyones coments are like anti-anxiety meds.It does help when others can comment and give feedback on there own personal...

Hi Chrissi,Thank's for the response. I noticed your comment regarding seeking another neuro for a second opinion??? :( Can you please clarrify? I had two appoints with this neurlogist 6 months apart ( May -Oct. 11) and my spasticty seems to concern her. All other clinical tests where good, EMG...

Hi Folks,I'm going to shorten some of my posts just to address specific concerns. First of all I have nothing but admiration for everyone on this site an the courage received by their personal stories and ongoing strungle with BFS and BCFS.Does anyone on this site strugle with spastic catch in...
