Hello,
Its been about 6 weeks since I have had my muscle fasciculations. At this point in time, I get them all over my body and mostly occur while I rest. I tried calling my Neurologist for making an appointment to see him, but where I live I won't get an appointment until July 8.
My new problem now is muscle atrophy. Over the past two weeks, I have noticed pain in my hypothenar muscle of my right hand. When I make my hand into a fist, one area of the muscle feels gushy and wasted. At the same time, the muscles at the bottom of the palm of my hand seems to be diminished. My left hand is perfectly fine. It has no pain or any apparent wasted muscles. I haven't really had any fasciculations in my hand yet. I have a picture of my right hand below.
Is this a possible sign of ALS?
