Hello, and thank you for reading my post. I have constant twitching (fasciculation) in my right thigh just above the knee. It is in one place but it pretty much never stops unless my knee is bent - like when sitting in a chair. If my legs are straight it is constant. I can't remember exactly when it started because I wasn't worried at first just annoyed. But it has been just over 2 weeks as best I can remember.
My primary care told me I need to make an appointment with a neurologist. She didn't mention what she thought it was, but when i started googling last night, ALS kept coming up. Much information said it was not normal for a twitch to last over 2 weeks.
I have been crying all day as I read more and more. I'll make the appointment on Monday but do I have to literally just wait for more symptoms to come up? I'm terrified.
