Hello!

A week ago I had really strong twitching in my left forearm that lasted for 3-4 hours, then, 1 day later I developed twitching in my left triceps that lasts for around 6 days now.

I experience twitching when I twist or bend my arm, it was constant when I do that for the first 4 days, then 5th day I didn't notice it and this morning it started again. My forearm didn't twitch anymore after that first twitch btw.

Also, when I work that muscle, for example do 10 pushups, twitching stops for the next minute or so.

I don't notice any weakness in hand, , so I was wondering if this could be ALS?

What scares me is that it is only 1 muscle, triceps, and I would like to ask you, if someone did have twitching as first symptom, would it stop shortly after using that muscle or not?

I have no obvious weakness in the hand of course, but I saw that it doesn't mean much since there are ppl who didn't have it too.

I am 28y old btw.

Thank you very much!
 
Please see your primary care physician.

No, it does not sound like ALS. Most of us PALS were symptomatic for many months before even seeing a GP, let alone going on the internet for a diagnosis.

Nope, doesn't sound like ALS.
 
In a word, no.
