For about 4 months now I have been suffering constant leg muscle twitching and cramping.
This mostly in my left leg and foot. Occasionally I get the odd twitch in my right leg.
Then about 2 months ago the muscle twitching started in my arms as well.
My toes on my left leg feel they were just going to go into cramp and wake me at night actually moving on their own.
A lot seems to be going on down my left side.
Left hand shaking picking up something and Left leg trembling going down stairs. Left toes constantly cramping and moving.
I get a lesser version of all these symptoms on my right side.
There is also a tightness in my legs and arms, as if I am wearing compression socks
Saw my doctor, who says strength and reflexes are the same on both sides but is sending me to a neurologist anyway
I am awaiting an appointment which wont be for months due to Covid backlog.
The muscle fasciculations I can ignore most of the time but its hard to ignore the toe cramping and moving
I am worried that the trembling in my leg going down stairs is due to early muscle weakness. Is this how early muscle weakness presents itself?
I would value any imput
