Hello,
First of all thank you for taking your time to open this thread. I am indebted to all of you and I wish for your health !
Before three months, I noticed some small twitching on my foot & other parts of body. They were indeed small and didn't vibrate that much such that it becomes very noticeable. I ignored. But since last month, they have started noticeably high. I can feel them. It started with my start leg, and then now it happens from top to bottom including face, under eyes, palm, biceps, legs, etc. Everywhere. The frequency is generally about 20-30 per hour & they go on whole day.
I met a GP, they said it was due to Anxiety or Stress. I didn't had any Anxiety in the past which was the trigger point of these. But she gave me pills, which made no difference whatsoever. She told me do Blood Tests like Vitamin B12, CMP, CBC, ANA, TSH, Typhoid, Lyme, CRP, West Nile etc. All came out normal except Vitamin D which was 13.5 in my case (normal: 32-100).
Since those 2 months, my weight has been the same 145 lbs, No less & No more. I began to feel that my hands were swollen, she was a bit concerned so she ordered MRI of C-Spine, Brain & Spine to see any pinched nerve. But that also was Normal.
At the end she referred me to a Neurologist for a EMG test, But I had to leave that town as I was there for a 1 month business visit. Now, In my town I have waiting for 2-ish month for Neuro visit.
The things currently stands as Twitching happens all day, noticeable. My left pinky finger is failing to move from side to side (Wartenberg Sign). Note that, I haven't done any stretches or something. I feel a bit difficulty to close my palms and open it. My fingers get easily stiff now. When I open my fist to fingers they shake a bit.
I am shocked to see that. Now, I am just concerned if this is something big? Is Nerve Conduction Study helpful or it's better to have EMG?
To be double sure I am not lagging in magnesium I did Mg, Na, Potassium Blood test and all were normal. So Twitching is for sure unrelated to Magnesium.
For background, I am 22 years old, M, 145 lbs.
Thank you in advanced for your help.
