As it seems to be the case, every new thing that happens convinces me that some terrible disease is "progressing." I certaintly am not new to the twitching. But for the past couple of weeks my forearm will twitch whenever I right click the mouse at my computer. Basically when I quickly move my middle finger up and down my forearm will twitch near my elbow (I know these are the muscles that mover your fingers). Clean EMG early Jan, twithcing since the end of Nov. Should this be worrisome? Has anyone else experienced this?
Twitchy Forearm After Quick Movements

Ok, so you know that I am going to say that I have this lol! My forearm twitches in many different spots and it does it like I said before when I have my elbow rested on the computer desk (in fact it just happened three times this morning) and when it twitches it moves my fingers. The other night at dinner again my forearm was rested on the dinner table on the opposite arm and my pinkie finger started twitching. I am not sure what the connection is with stimulating the muscle(s) and then it twitches, but that has been what I have been experiencing and it is a little scary, but I am just trying to tell myself that my nerves must be really in a state of hyper for this stuff to be happening to me. I think with ALS the twitch is constant and not in a hyper state (just my opinion).

Yes, I just tried it and I can initiate twitches in my left hand, fingers and thumb when I move my fingers rapidly or clench a tight fist. I also can easily cause twitching and falling asleep “paresthesia” in my arm and hand by compressing the nerves in my arm... ulnar/median. Also my legs when I sit on the edge of a chair for instance. I've been twitching for over 8 months.
My forearm is a hotspot, It is at currently making me feel upset, and my foot has been going all day too! Arent we all just lucky, what are the chances that This could happen to me! I guess pretty good huh? I wish I was 15 again before I had problems. My wife is super sick and tired of hearing about my twitching, and I am trying to save up for a MRI and EMG that I estimate will cost me darn near 1000 bucks! And I am not even convinced they will find anything.
AVIATIONROCKS,Forearm twitches!!!! My forearm has been spasming/twitching for past 3 years!!! its always there, sometimes worse than others, but on some occasions when the twitch goes right up the forearm near the elbow, it pulls my pinkey back and forth....really wild stuff.. As we speak these past few days its been really bad, the whole muscle/tendon form the wrist up about 6 inches has been spasming strong, really drives me crazy. But you arent the only one, inbox me and ill send you some good video of my spasming forearm i get on my phone......Danny
