Three years ago I got up from my office chair and twisted my left ankle. It was a very bad injury and the doctor thought it was a break, but the x-ray showed it wasn't. I hobbled on crutches and a brace until I could walk again. It never fully recovered but was stiff. I still had strength in it. I fell once more a year later but didn't attribute it to the "bad" leg because there was a large crack in the sidewalk.
Last Summer was when I started getting cramps and fasciculations in my left foot. The twitches because constant in November and have continued to be constant to date. The twitches spread to my calf in the left leg and I get them in my left glute and sometimes in my thigh. Just recently I noticed them on my right leg but not constant.
My question is why am I getting sensory feelings that are odd on my left leg. It almost feels like tingling. At first I thought it was muscle loss and my sciatic nerve. I can see the twitches in my foot and calf but it seems like when I touch my calf, the twitches worsen and I also get a tingling sensation. Lumbar and t-spine MRIs normal.
I always thought the twitches came after the muscle was almost gone. I can still stand on my toes and heels in my weak leg but it's harder and I get muscle fatigue in both legs.
I know everyone progresses differently. I was just wondering if anyone had the same pattern and wondering if one day I'll wake up and not be able to walk on my left leg.
