I had that feeling in both my hands and feet when my BFS started. The feeling that you describe as having had your funny bone hit, it goes away. It stayed in my left ankle and foot the longest, but it eventually dissipated. Sometimes it comes back a wee bit, but not for long, and never as strong. Two years later, it is still my left leg which troubles me most. It is common in BFS that one limb, one side feels a bit more odd than the rest of the body. I had a previous injury to my left leg, and I believe, that when we get bfs, it is a syndrome that exploits these old war wounds. It makes us "feel" them more acutely. The limb, however, can "feel" as weak as it wants, providing it isn't actually weak. Further, these pulling twitches are consistent with BFS, not the other one. Just feel sorry for all the tongue twitchers who have to bear the same sensation, but in their mouths.
There is nothing ominous about what you are experiencing, just BFs, just a few little twitches and other feelings.
People have spoken of how we, BFSers, are more focused on every little thing, and it is for this reason that we notice stuff that wouldn't have even been on our radar before. The great classical pianist Horowitz was looking at his hands one day, as they flew over the keyboard, and he was suddenly struck by the thought, "how do I do this?" He didn't play again for ten years, because he freaked himself out by thinking excessively how his hands functioned. He actually had a nervous breakdown. He did come back, and to great aplomb, but it illustrates how powerful our psyche can be, and just how important it is to "accept" the miracle of ourselves.
