I am a 29 year old female who recently has just not felt myself. About 3 weeks ago both of my thumbs were very crampy and sore. It hurt to even type or use my cell phone. The pain went away. Two weeks ago both of my hands had a tingling feeling and my pinky and ring fingers were hurting. After googling(probably a bad idea) ALS came up. I have also had body wide muscle twitches. None of which are visible and they are not limited to one area. Randomly I will feel it in my leg or my shoulder, arm, back, etc... I went to my primary who said that my arms and hands were probably sore because of always carrying about my two children one of which is 5 months old and is constantly in my arm. She did blood work and it was all normal. I think she was looking for joint or muscle issues. My left wrist now hurts. The tingling is gone but occasionally my fingers will feel stiff in my left hand. The muscle twitches are still body wide. I usually only feel them while I am at rest not doing my daily activities. My left upper arm almost has the feeling as if I got a needle and is just a little sore. What does the early weakness feel like as I feel my strenght is still the same.
