Ulnar Nerve Entrapment: My Story

For around 8 months I have been twitching everywhere. It started back in late January with twitching of the pinky and ring fingers of both hands. Now my ring finger and pinky no longer twitch except when my elbow is bent. Turns out I have ulnar nerve entrapment. No weakness except for the fact that I cant quite form the "I love you" sign language sign becuase my pinky wont raise that high. It feels like somthing is holding it back though, and when I try and do it my muscles twitch then... but never when resting. It feels almost like structural damage.

I think the anxiety has gotten to me. Thinking I have ALS has made me twitch everywhere from my toes, to my soles of my feet, my calves, my butt, my abs, my chest musclues, arms, shoulders, back, lats, neck, eyelids and face. Recently I have a had a annoying twitch of the muscular part at the base of my thumb. Drives me insane. My orthopedist and GP are in no way concerned w/ als... so why am I so concerned. If it was ALS, wouldn't there be some very noticeable atrophy and weakness 8 months after there has been widespread twitching? Someone say something, I'm only 19, and I think im already going crazy.
 
Hi

You are not going crazy, most of us on this site have been through what you are going through. You must learn to relax and accept you condition, as benign (BFS) or PNHE, web site( pnhe info)

Wide spread fascics, as i understand are not the syptoms of *** and after 8 months you would have other signs too. Why not look at the support page and read the info i put on there for new comers to the site. this might help you relax a little.

Please fight this thing, be strong and things will get better honest. Remember stress is BFS food.

Take care
