hi all i have only posted here once before but been lurking for months..

My probs started about 5 months ago now with loadsa twitching/strange sensations
just a quick question i was wondering if any of you guys have this strange thing going on..

Well my calfs... when they are resting they do this strange dimple thing.. its the only way 2 describe it, it feels like a tiny twitch but looks nothing like one more like a dimple?! does anyone else have this or am i on my own very worried as they seem 2 do this all day! :-(

Anyone else??

A worried english friend :-)

It sounds like you are describing fasciculations. But remember that fasciculations without weakness and atrophy do not mean you have MND.

fasciculations do cause an indentation as the muscle fiber is contracting. i say go see a neuro.
