I also get the about to cramp feeling in my chest, neck and rib muscles then sometimes they'll twitch and sometimes not. My feet and hands cramp all the time or I guess I should say left hand and right foot. Sometimes before the cramping I have a little of the mild pins and needles thing for a...

hey Z Everytime I read your posts i chukle. Thanks for that! In real life I tend to be comic relief but coming on here trying to figure out about my PINCHED NERVE I'm not my best self. Anyway, just wanted to know that you brighten up the place around here and YOU ROCK! :mrgreen:

Sammantha The symptoms you described are exactly what is happening to me. Sometime even just walking causes my intercostal muscles to twitch like crazy. I have a "lump" of muscle under my left arm and big indentation below it. I'm all swollen in the ribcage all around on the left and all...

This has all been such a fascinating read for me! I have been swollen in the sternum, twitching pretty much everywhere in a transient fashion but concentrated in the upper left body. I have severe numbness in my right leg or left arm every few days, horrific pain and spasms in back and...

Thanks I logged on here today to find out this exact info! I was hoping there was some discussion about it. I'm scheduled for EMG on Nov 3rd and am nervous. Thanks to everybody sharing their experiences with it. Karen

Hi Chris Like the last few posts, I agree, for now, get some medicine for anxiety. It will help you to relax. Early in my twitching I was mad freaking out and thinking I couldn't live like that. Now, it's been over a year and I twitch even more but I've found ways to cope, deal and even LIVE...

That's been one of the worst things I've experienced. It's one thing to twitch and feel like crap all day but when you're just exhausted and can't even rest from the twitching... it's just too much for me. I talked to my doc and got some valium. It helps the twitching AND helps me to sleep...

Thank you Your story was so touching and inspiring. I've had cancelled some testing and given up hope of getting diagnosed. After I read your story, I thought of how strong and brave you were to hang in there. It filled me with hope and I picked up my phone and re-scheduled some tests. One...

was reading your post and I am at the same stage. Mri showed slight disc prominence on c4-5 and c5-6 but was told it was not significant enough to be causing my problems. I asked where to go next and he suggested another mri but said looks possibly muscular which is difficult to diagnose! He...

I wish you the best of luck at your mri tomorrow. I just had one of brain and cervical spine myself last Friday. I'm having similar twitching, numbness etc., mine all on the left. The mri showed bone spurs on c4-5 and c5-6 with effacement of spinal cord (guess that means touching spinal cord)...

Hi Linda I'm new here too. I so understand what you are going through. I too have been sick a long time, terribly so for a year with no diagnosed and no good answers. I too have felt like crawling into bed and never getting out. I realized that I didn't need a diagnosed to just TRY to stop...

Jane The better get crackin comment just cracked me up. I completely agree! It is really no wonder there is such a hard time getting any diagnosed since everyone has such different stuff going on. My issues started with intense chest pain, was sure it was heart attack, then in a few days I...

Omg! I have felt the same, that life may not be worth it anymore so your post reallly touched my heart. After I clicked on "post reply" i was just absolutely "speechless" for like 5 minutes. I'm undiagnosed and suffering but look at the faces of the people who love me whose eyes light up when...

Wow The links were some good reads...thanks for the info!:mrgreen:

thanks Thanks to all of you for the info. I'm in the process or being diagnosed. I've been twitching, numb and weak for about 11 months. I have twitching all over but the worst is in all of my chest muscles and left rib cage. It's so severe that I can't lay down but for a few minutes. I have...
