Hi guys...I am worried about my odd symptoms and am hoping for guidance.

3 months ago I started getting migratory bone/joint pain. When it first happened I thought my ankle was sprained though in the morning it was fine. The next day my opposite foot and toes felt like they were being crushed, about an hour later it was fine. I have gotten stabbing feelings in my spine, my fingers etc...the pain just moves around. Some days are worse than others. At the onset of the pain I started getting EXTREME joint cracking-EVERYWHERE> I NEVER had this issue before-I counted 15 times in 10 min. It seems the cracking is worse when the pain is worse. Also I started getting buzzing in my feet here and there.

Now the past 2 wks I am getting little muscle twitches ALL over my body. It will hit one area for a second then move on.

All blood work to date and bone scan clear. I had an MRI 1.5 yrs ago for migraines, it was fine however I am going to get another one of my head and spine (this time)

Should I be worried I have ALS?

This all just seemed to hit at once? I am a 33 yr old female who feels 93 and am losing hope.
 
HI

I had all this in the begining of my journey. The same joint pain and it just hit me. I was christmas shopping and all of sudden I felt like I was 90 with all the aches! I use to shop for hours. Then I got the twitches, you know the story.

All I can tell you is that I have had every test for MND/ALS and see als specialist and they say they dont think als and I have no diagnosed. Hang in there and try not to get overly fearfull. I did in the start and was crying all day and having a real struggle. Here I am 6 months later and no diagnosed. I dont feel any better either.

hang in there and get the tests and go to a neuromuscular specialist and a rhuemy!
 
My symptoms

Thanks for your response. Can you tell me how your symptoms started? Is your pain like mine in that you get shooting pains in your spine and sometimes it feels like your ankle will snap in half? Also, do you have cracking sounds from the joints all over your body? Mine is EVERYWHERE...it started at the exact same time I started to get pain. The pain feels like its in my bones at times-deep jolts.

Now my little muscle twithces are ALL over my body...they last a second then move to another part of my body.

I am really scared as I have had this 3 months now and still no answers. I am anxious to have another MRI and to have nerve testing.

What other tests have you had.

Should I be concerned?
