Dog, you posted on an ALS site, but there is nothing in your post that has anything to do with ALS. Certainly your doctors didn't say any of that pointed toward ALS, did they?

If you're interested in ALS, please read the IMPORTANT post stuck to the top of this subforum called "Read before posting."

I'd be concerned, too.

But not about ALS. Nothing you wrote should have led you here.

If you want more information, read the pinned post, aka Sticky, alluringly titled Read Before Posting.

I'm just really frustrated I've gone to the doctor past 4 months and had blood test after blood test and everything seems normal but I am having all these sensory issues plus the muscle twitching scares me has anyone ever felt the biceps feel really tight with als symptoms I'm sorry for the intrusion on here but it's mentally draining I have an emg Tuesday but he said he wanted to check my ulnar nerves and will also see a rheumatologist later in month..so frustrated!!

No doubt.

But we do ALS, and you don't have it.
So, our sincere best wishes, but there's nothing for you here.

We've got our hands full with ALS.

Good luck! But goodbye, too.

Numbness and other sensory issues are not ALS. Twitching is common and nonspecific. Lots of benign conditions cause twitching. The normal neuro exam should reassure you.

Do read the stickies at the top of this forum. Hopefully that will convince you that you’re not dealing with ALS.

thank you for your response I really appreciate it

one more concern my legs are getting twitches that I can see but can't feel and if I flex my calf it starts twitching but I can't feel them is it spasms or twitches should I be scared of the ones I can't feel

You're officially becoming a PITA.

Read the damn sticky as told, what? Three times now?

Twitching means nothing, zip, goose egg, zero.
Twitching is far too common to be diagnostic of anything.

Don't post again until you read, and have fully understood what's there.

If you do post yet another question answered there, I will lock this thread.
