So for the past month I've been living in fear I might have ALS.
I have been having pains in my right hand and a feeling of "weirdness" moving the fingers. There's no tingling and\or numbness, but if feels weird, kinda hard to explain. Also I notice there's a indentation in my right hand muscle, not the Thenar Muscle,but just above the thenar muscle (Don't know what it's called) This has been going for a month and I noticed the possible atrophy 2 weeks ago. Also there's ocasional twitching in that muscle too. I don't have weakness in that hand at all currently, just this morning I lifted around 10kg with no difficulty I'd say there's no weakness at all.
I'm 19, could this be ALS or am I being paranoid?
I've had my share of bad luck in health, being diagnosed and succesfully treated for stomach cancer a year ago...
