    Pain on top of foot. Possible foot drop developing?

    Hello, I started to have pain in the top of my right foot this Saturday. I am now limping pretty badly. I've had widespread twitching for 5 months now which I've tried to ignore. Could this be a sign if foot drop starting? Thanks! (prior thread here: Concerned about possible ALS)

    Twitching with PLS?

    My mother is complaining of leg twitching at rest and early in the morning. She has PLS, in her legs and moving into her hands. She has shaky hands, and is dropping things, but really it’s the twitching in her legs that bothers her. She thinks it’s making them weaker, and she is having trouble...

    Weight loss, twitching, hyperreflexia

    Good Morning. I posted here previously, in 2017 and 2019, I think. I was having twitching, which was found to be benign by EMG. I spent the past 6 months caring for my dad, who died at home, less than a month ago. Over this time period I lost 30 pounds, and the twitching, which I had...

    Elbow twitching

    Hi! I'm sorry for opening another thread, I described my issues in my original thread in April this year.

    Begging your thoughtful consideration one more time

    Proof that widespread twitching is related to ALS

    I recently came across this article and I'm freaking out now: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11464925 Everything I've read on here says that widespread twitching is not indicative of ALS, but this article states otherwise. The worst part is that I had an emg last year that the neuro...
