35 year old male, fairly active, good physical health my whole life except for some football injuries.
Need to begin by saying that I have had severe bouts of health anxiety within the last year, colon cancer, lung cancer, bone cancer, all of which started with small symptoms that manifested into larger ones that ended in tests that were negative. Before that suffered from general anxiety for about 6 years. That being said I started having symptoms that made me fear als at the end of July, fast fatiguing forearms, bout a month later my lower legs and feet were fatiguing. Went to my doctor who checked me and said it is likely the anxiety, prescribed anxiety medications, shortly after started having more fatigue in my lower legs and feeling of twitches in lower legs and visible twitching in my left foot arch. At the end of the day my feet ache horribly and the twitching in my left foot is the worst.
I workout obsessively doing calf raises and forearm exercises all the time, trying to test myself and prove I can do things.
Dr did a neurologist exam saying everything is okay, but put in the neurology referral after I told her about twitches. My appointment is not until end of January.
I'm really scared, every step I take I check to see if I trip, every time I pick something up I examine how difficult it is. I go to bed scared Ill wake up and it'll be worse. Scariest and most concerning is the twitching in my left foot arch.
