Anxious Over Shoulder and Leg Issues

So, currently, I'm a huge anxious mess. Obviously, as previously stated, my shoulder is an issue, an continues to be. Here are my other symptoms:-left leg on and off tense/tight/stiff-tons of twitches, especially in left shoulder blade-internal vibration/electric current sensation: seems to be coming from inside my shoulder(s), but when I'm lying still, I can feel my whole torso vibrating. Sometimes even my face!And again, shoulder stiff/achy/weaker than right. EMG done, told its my rotator cuff.So...what do you all think...should I be worried? I especially hate that I have this left shoulder blade twitch, when I'm so worried about the left shoulder anyway.
 
Yes, why am I still worried after the EMG...because I can't stop. Doing the usual line of questioning, you know how it goes...what if it wasn't put in the right muscle, what if it wasn't accurate, what if the doctor was too rushed in doing it or interpreting the results?Looking at that statement, I suppose I'm not giving the doctor any credit at all. I need to, otherwise, on what can I rely.It just scares me that both the arm and the leg are on the left side. Yes, I realize there could be plenty of very logical explanations for that, but it's still concerning to me. No idea what the leg issue is - its hard to even describe the sensation. It's when I'm walking, on the front part of the stride...tense, pulling, weird. Don't know if that's the beginning of weakness or not. Sure hope not.I was freaking out last night too after reading all these old posts by BartOne, whose shoulder symptoms sounded like mine. He said some weird stuff about maybe being diagnosed with *LS or something? It was very confusing. But while in the chat room, I was told that he was basically full of it, so...
 
colls, a lot of your posts from what i can remember describe a fear of what is the 'beginning of weakness,' the beginning of weakness, is you guessed it.......weakness. No pre warning, no 'signs' or tightness, nor sensations. It is clear to me that you have no idea what ALS is, only what you think it is. After the anxiety dies away, and you read stories of ALS, its very obvious, what we are scared off / have been scared of, is not remotely anything like ALS. a) you have too many things going on for als to be even consideredb) what you describe does not sound like ALSc) how many clean emg's? one clean emg is enough to determine that you are not on the 'possible mnd' list, if a list so existedd) multiple neuro's consultations - again, none are alarmede) your fears, that essentailly add up to medical malpractice fears, i.e. rushed dr. wrong muscle etc... are the typical fears of a hypochondriac and/ or someone with extreme health anxiety.f) the truth of the matter is, that if what you have is ALS, you would know it by now, and probably on the ALS forums asking for which wheel chair you should buy and if your insurance would cover it. As neither of these concerns are at the forefront of your mind, given the passage of time, you should not be concerned about als.g) as for bart1, he has posted extensively on the alsforums, up until the point where he was challenged to produce his emg report, then he suddenly disappeared. Take that for what its worth. h) time to start believing your doctors/neuro/mnd specialist. They have psychically examined you, carried out a clinical, performed and EMG, saw the results and RULED OUT ALS. This is much better than any advice that anyone here can give you re:your condition.DisclaimerI'm not a medical professional, and the above information should not be construed as medical advice.
