Ok I'm so bummed today about my stinkin elbow. It feals stressed (ACHE), hard to explain, Its the side of my elbow facing outwards of my body. That small muscle there I think keeps twitching. If I bend my elbow backwards I can see it move. I don't know if I'm causing it to ache or feal stressed because its on my mind or what. Its putting me in a panic Mode which I hate. I can't stop thinking oh what if this is a start of ALS. Why do I do this, Its so frustrating. I couldn't even enjoy my weekend, 4 day weekend :(
 
Ashley,Funny you wrote this today. My elbow and tricep muscles have been going nonstop for the past day. It's driving me bananas. But let me ask you, which elbow is it? When you sit at your computer, is it the elbow you rest on? Just curious. I've found that when I lean on certain muscles, it's almost like it aggravates it and causes a hotspot. -Matt
 
seriously Matt? Ok its the outside of my elbow, Right arm, its that small muscle between the bones if that makes sense. I can feal it moving, feals stressed and ache. Its really upsetting me and my thoughts!
 
As always, I can't do any better than Johnny's response. But yes, I know exactly the muscle. Mine is on the inside of the elbow and tricep. So, different muscles, but same irrational fears. -Matt
 
I had the inside-elbow hotspot at the beginning of BFS.I could start it every time i would bend my arm a certain way. You know you have benign twitching. I've have been twitching in every muscle so far, sometimes I think " pleeeeeaso move on to another place, this is so annoying". But it doesn't----the twitching leaves whenever it decides to....
 
Thank you Johnny, Matt and Chrissi! I just get in this awful state of mind when a twitch happens in a spot and it feals stressed and Achey. I'm just bummed with all this fear and thoughts. I wish I was free of all of this. My husband said the other night come to me if your upset and I will help you but then I go to him and his is annoyed. I know he cares but I know he is sick of me being like this. Chrissi, how long did you twitch in the elbow last?
 
Hi ash, I have the same twitch too..only in my right elbow,sometimes it goes like a little machine gun....bfs is the poo isn't it....sounds like a hotspot....my feet have been going 24/7 for about 2 weeks now and they are so achey and sore somedays.....dont worry ok
 
Shanny, Seriously makes me alway's feal better hearing somebody else has this. Mine is on the right elbow, exactly in the tennis elbow muscle. Its so frusterating! How long have you had this. Did you justa get a twitch or aching also? Kinda a stressed fealing?
 
Hi again ash, it's be twitching off and on for most of the four months I've had this....my elbow aches after a couple of hours too...feeling stressed is a good description, that's exactly what it feels like...seriously I've got the same thing..your ok honey.....best wishes shannon
 
Really bummed today! Tired of this worrying about every little fealing on my body. Now its not so much twitching, as that has gone down almost 90%. Now I feal acheing in my lower arm, elbow. Tingle on the top of my foot, and still worry about one side of my body (Foot) Arm being slimmer than the other. I hate this! I want to just burst into tears :(
 
Keep your chin up Ashley! You have to know by now that if one side of your body were ACTUALLY slimmer than the other, than you'd have significant weakness by now. Not perceived weakness, but weakness where you can't do certain things. I'm assuming that the tingling on the top of your foot is twitching. If so, I would tell you that you are so far along into your twitching (2+ years) that you are as safe as it gets. If the tingling is not twitching and rather a sensory issue, than you can forget about ALS because it does not involve sensory issues. So now that we've ruled out the major things, go live your life! Maybe you'll figure out what is ailing you someday and maybe you won't. But whatever it is, there's a very good chance its nothing more than an annoyance. I'm not diminishing what you're going through, trust me, I feel your pain, fear, and frustration. But I think you know that you and I have the same medical problem... anxiety! My prescription to you.... one chill pill and one glass of wine. -Matt
 
I'm sorry guy's I feal so irrational right now. I'm just so bummed today it hurts. I hate this. Sorry Johnny for bugging you, I always ask goofy questions. Matt, thank you and I will have a glass of wine for both of you tonight :)
 
Hey ash, I hope your feeling better...did you have that glass of wine?...I'm sorry you've been a bit freaked out this week...I've been the same over achey hands...bloody anxiety I hate it....your not alone, and believe me I am the biggest pest on here I'm sure...you will have to be the second biggest ok..... :) and chin up it has to get easier, I'm sure of it...hugs to you....shannon
 
Hi Ash, I'm sorry for you going through your anxiety again. My elbow is doing the exact same twitch since yesterdy evening . And I have had arm and hand pains right from the beginning, they really suck. Mostly the part hands to ellbows. I can help myself with Ibuprofene, but I know I cannot take high doses of it forever. So I found out that tiger balm helps me (although it really smells bad) a lot. I actually had this hand pain some days before the twitching started..
 
Thanks Shanny and Chrissi!! I hate fealing this sad about worrying. I hate all of this. The good thing is my twitching is so decreased to almost nothing but I still have other weird stuff. I don't wish to have twitches though thats for sure. I hope and pray that today is a better day. oregon is amazingly beautiful right now with Fall coming, I want to enjoy every second of this. Today I put a roast in the crock pot, got out the fall decorations, and put my Gingerbread scentsy plug in. Cozy night in Oregon :) Ash
 
OK,now...we forget one moment about the ****about the twitching and you tell me what a crockpot is :) I've read that on many american sites but never figured out what this thing actually does....
 
Oh, that sounds great....there'ssomething similar here calles thermomix but it's more than 1000 Dollars..maybe the crockpot is not that expensive....sounds good if you have children!
