I was thinking about tennis elbow, but does it cause twitching? I have been working out much more over last 2 weeks, but this started prior to that.

Thanks for the replies. Any idea what would cause the constant twitching at the elbow then?

Elaine, thank you for your reply. I had been doing real well until this most recent twitch started. I am trying to convince myself that it has been 3 years since the twitching started, and I am still felling pretty strong for the most part.

Hey guys, I have had an ongoing fear about ALS. I was diagnosed (through emg)with ulnar nerve compression in December of 2011. I ended up having surgery to relieve compression. Strength has come back for the most part. Still have twitching in between thumb and pointer finger every day when using...

Vicki, I actually know both of the neurologists that I have seen pretty well. The one that I really trust said that he is 99% sure that it is not ALS. However, the further I get away from my last appointment with him, the more twitching I develop throughout my body. I could have had this...

I hate to come back on the forum and continue to ask the same questions. However, I have noticed pretty consistent twitching in the arches of my feet along with more recently subtle twitiching in my calf. I have tried to put the worry out of my mind, but when I see these things, it all comes...

I have posted this within another thread I started, but didn't get a great deal of feedback. 2 years ago I was diagnosed with ulnar nerve entrapment in my left elbow. I had surgery, and have started to see some improvement in my strength of the hand of the arm that I had surgery on. Before...

Anyone have enough experience to offer any feedback?

Finally got EMG results from retired doctor. Here is the write up. Hopefully someone can make something out of this. The left anti sensory no response. The left ulnar motor increased latency, decreased amplitude and normal velocity. The left ulnar FDI motor, normal latency, decreased amplitude...

I guess being that some strength has come back, that would be a good sign. Right? From what I have read, ALS does not get better, it progressively gets worse. Am I right?

Unfortunately, the neurologist who performed the EMG has since retired. I don't have a copy of the report. I am guessing that he would have mentioned signs of a MND rather than recommending surgery for ulnar nerve entrapment? Is that safe to say? As I mentioned, I have regained some strength and...

Thank you for the insightful feedback! I am going to take a step back and stop focusing on the twitching. I really appreciate everyones input. I wish you all the best!

I should say I had ulnar nerve entrapment. They did a decompression surgery.

The reason I was asking is that the doctor who initially performed the EMG has retired. They were looking for the cause of tingling and loss of coordination in my left pinky and ring finger at the time. They were not specifically trying to rule out ALS at the time. My question is would they have...

Thanks. That is my fault. I am new to forum and posted in the wrong spot the first time. Thanks for the answer!
