Hi everyone. First of all I want to say I'm sorry about everyone in here that is suffering from or has someone close to them suffering from this terrible disease. I know it must be difficult dealing with possibly anxiety cases such as myself on here, so I would like to apologize in advance if I am wasting anyone's time.
I'm a 27 year old male, I have been experiencing some symptoms over the last 2 weeks that I would like some advice on to see if this sounds familiar to anyone. I did contact my doctor who said to come see him only if symptoms get worse or don't go away but while looking for relief methods I stumbled on MND and MS info and truthfully I am quite anxious.
It started with a very long and erratic muscle twitch on my left calf that lasted about 10 minutes. It went away but over the last week I've been having twitches in multiple areas in my body, but the most of them occur on my left side. Twitches occur in my Calves, Quads, buttocks, arms and back near my shoulder blades, and also in my abdomen near my ribcage.
I've also felt very mild cramping in my left calf and left forearm that goes away with light stretching, and my arms feel kind of heavy and tight. Been feeling a bit of pain in the arch of my left foot and ankle when I walk or do stuff sometimes.
The twitches are not constant, or don't last longer than maybe 5 seconds, and goes away if I move that muscle.
Most of them are just one hard twitch and then it's gone.
But it happens during the whole day, mostly when I'm at rest.
In terms of weakness I haven't failed at doing anything I do On a daily basis, although my left side muscles feel more sore after a workout than my right. Amount of weight lifted is not any different.
Once again, I apologize for any inconvenience here. Just wanted to know if any of this sounds familiar or whether I should push my GP for an exam or something. Thanks to all!
Quick Edit: If this was anything serious would anything else have come up in 2 weeks?
