Hello Everyone,
First I would like to say Happy New Year!
I am a 22 year old male and have been experiencing some symptoms that I am concerned of.
I have been getting twitching all over my body for around 1.5 months, but what I have been concerned with as of late is my left forearm. I have had sensations of minor cramps and very fine twitches close to the skin. These types of twitches are only in my left forearm and feel like individual strands. I recently had an EMG around a couple of weeks ago, but the technician did not test my forearms. The areas tested in my upper body where my cervical spine, deltoid, tricep, bicep, and multiple areas in hands. My left forearm muscle which faces outward feels a little stiff and tight compared to my right. I have no objective weakness, but it feels slightly sore and fatigued.
My questions are...
1. Do I need another EMG?
2. If it was early ALS would it be seen in other parts of my arm?
Thank you!
