Hello, I hope everyone is having a good day. I've been to a neuro for the first time yesterday, I've been experiencig bodywide fasciculations for 8 months and I wanted to get a medical opinion.
After doing a very extensive clinical, the neuro told me: "you have pretty good strength, al muscle groups are 5/5 EXCEPT for your ring finger (4th dorsal interosseuos), the strength there is 4/5, but It's nothing to be concerned of, therefore, I won't perform an EMG" I know I should trust him, but I read stories in which at the ALS beggining stages the weakness can present in a very subtle way like this.
I want to be positive, I want to believe that my ring finger has always been like that (?). I mean, I returned to weightlifting 2 months ago and I have noticeable gained strength and muscle mass. I really thought that my clinical was going to be completely clean :-(
I'm starting to have fear an anxiety like in the beggining, maybe you people can give me some reassurance in this case?
May be someone can recall a case similar to mine that turned out to be nothing? If only you can let me know of only one similar case that turned out to be nothing it would mean A LOT to me.
I sincerely appreciate the time you take reading my story.
Best wishes,
Marcelo.
