It has been a long time since I wrote. I am from Spain.About two years ago i had concerns about lack of strenght in one arm.After this i had my shoulders bad, like if they are going to pop out, i thought it was subluxation, because besides this sensation there are all king of pops and sounds.But the thing that scares me a lot right now is a dent in muy left thumb pad, next to the wrist, is like a hole in the muscle, and definitely the other hand hasnt it.I know you are going to tell me about carpal syndrome, but I have read lots of cases of people beeing diagnosed of carpal and at the end they have ***.I dont have pain or tingling, only this "hole".Anyone else have this????Thank you
 
Yoddah, there have been all kinds of posts about dents, ridges etc etc, in that area as well, I have seen several. I see you have been at this for 2 years, have you seen a neuro? Had an EMG? Is so what did they tell you?My thumbpads don't look perfect, they don't look the same, they have ridges in them, truth is I never noticed this before, then again I never bothered to look before, I had no reason to. If you look at your body enough, study it, you will find imperfections, ridges, dents and other oddities.
 
Thanks a lot.I am 38 and i know that *** is not commonat this age, but in last four years my father, and two sisters died (not of ***) and now my mother has cancer, and I became hypocondriac. I always think in the worst.I went twice two the neuro, last time two years ago, and told me that i dont have anything.About twitches, yes, I have twitches everywhere, but this happen since 8 or 9 years, so the twitching didn't concern me.inzTwoToneTunes, thanks for the explanation about carpal. It is a very good point of view.Thanks a lot, and sorry if I ask things that are answered, but when I have panic i can´t think.Thank you again and sorry,
 
Yoddah. Sounds like you have had a rough go of things, sorry to hear about your family. I can see how your anxiety may have been created with your losses. I too began to have health anxiety after a friend of mine got cancer. It sounds like you are fine, if you are really concerned I would suggest another neuro visit for peace of mind but I honestly don't think you need it, but it's up to you.As far as "thinking the worse"I told my MD one time "when I have something wrong I assume it's the worst thing all the time, I don't know why I do that", I spoke like I was an anomally. He said "99% of my patients do that Paul, it's how they deal with the anxiety, that's what counts".So you are not abnormal, weird or wrong to feel that way Yoddah.
 
I have an appoinment today with my local neuro.I have been lucky, because he hasn't appointments until next 31th but he has one today at 20:00.I hope I have nothing wrong. I am in panic...
