Twitching in Upper Body for Months
- Thread starter Lovitch123
- Start date
Kovitch,My calves and feet have been going for 4+ months now. Nonstop, 24/7. Other than that, I just recently started getting hotspots elsewhere. My back and tongue were twitching for 1 week but I think they've slowed down. I've read about people having hotspots for months. I hope this helps. -Matt

Thanks BobJazzy,this help me , but I will be more secure if I don't have hard cramping in that hot spot area for more than 1 year... the emg in this area had detected nothing, but when I read some story of als patient I can find the same way like me : cramping, then twitching then weakness...(I know this is not the good think to do "dr google").And curious think that I don't feel my calves twiching since 4 days or just a little, but now it's my right arm who are bubbleing and twitching.I precise I don't feel any weakness or other sensation, I got the power lol, but just a big mountain of anxiety !BobJazzy does your twitches continue also the night?

Maybe it's because I'm more relaxed or just more aware of them. I don't know but I have had some looong nights with twitching. Today, I'm getting the "bubbling" twitches all over my back and in my shoulders and butt. I get them in my arms a lot but I wouldn't call them a hotspot... at least not this week. I'm getting several twitches per minute. I've also had a clean EMG. For you though, if you've been twitching for 1 year with a clean EMG, doesn't that give you some reassurance that it's not ALS? I've read that in the vast majority of ALS cases, weakness comes before twitching. And in the rare cases where the patient notices twitching first, they probably didn't have a clean EMG. Trust me, I understand your anxiety over this, I have a lot myself. -Matt

Hi Bobojojo,My twiches starts since 2 months exactly, but my upper right abdomen cramp since more than 1 year, I just felt that cramp 10 times in a particular position like when I grab something on the floor. And when I saw the symptoms of Als on the Internet my widespread twiches starts at this moment ! Do you have just one Emg? when I get my emg, the said to me "you are an hypocondriac go to see a psychiatre", pretty cool that women lol, but my twiches still are there ! I have an examination by an another neuro in one month, I'm curious to know what he can find!
