    Scared - could EMG have been too soon?

    Difficult not to worry with the twitches that seem to be triggered by muscle activity and the leg that feels stiff and tight if I stand for long and the calf pain when I walk and now the foot starting to mildly cramp as well, but I'm trying to take your advice (and the statements from the neuro...

    Scared - could EMG have been too soon?

    I did start the gabapentin last night before bed. Found out this morning when they say it can cause dizziness, boy are they correct! More like vertigo. Hope it passes soon. My right foot twitch started even before I got out of bed this morning and is in full swing now if I set the foot on...

    Scared - could EMG have been too soon?

    I did read the sticky at the top of the forum. And I know you're not doctors, but you have a lot of experience because you are living it which the doctor isn't. So I'm looking for others' experiences. And I did call the neurologist today. He called back to say he has nothing more for me...

    Scared - could EMG have been too soon?

    I guess my concern is this: Could I be one of the 6-7% who present with fasciculations before weakness, and could the pain (i.e. the very small calf injury that I have no recollection even doing) be related to my muscles being slightly weak already and more easy to injure or tire? Could ALS...

    Scared - could EMG have been too soon?

    So you don't think it's worrisome that the twitching in the toe/foot seems directly related to my putting pressure on the area or using the muscle? Once I'm up and around and standing more during the day it ramps up. I thought if twitches were more at rest or at night that it was more likely...

    Scared - could EMG have been too soon?

    So you wouldn't be concerned about increasing twitching in the right toe and ball of my foot that seems to be triggered to really fire up when I am pressing the foot against something (i.e., the floor when standing or when I sit because I tend to bend my legs under my chair so that my feet are...

    Scared - could EMG have been too soon?

    I forgot to mention with the EMG that while they did nerve conduction studies on both the right leg and right arm, they only did the EMG needles on my right leg and they did 3 needles in the mid-calf toward the front (none in back) and two needles in my thigh. Nothing in the ankle or foot.

    Scared - could EMG have been too soon?

    First post here. Hate to bother you but no idea where else to turn. 49 year old mom of 5 year old terrified I may have ALS. Sure we all have a few twitches now and then. But around the first of May I developed a persistent twitch in my lower left ribs (never had one there before) and each...
