Hi, everyone,
I have a quick question. As with a lot of people here, I'm sure, I searched the internet for "muscle twitches" and ended up here. Anyway, the last few days, I've had a fairly persistent twitch in my left hand. Actually, if my hand is resting, the twitch occurs a few times a minute. However, if I make my hand into a fist and then open my fist, the small muscles on the outside of my hand (basically in my palm under my little finger) twitch to the point that I can actually see them rolling around. This happens EVERY time I make a fist or use those muscles. Is this something I should be concerned about? I'm a little frightened because I read in a couple of the threads here that twitches that occur locally and upon exertion are more indicative of ALS than twitches that occur at rest. Help, please. I tend to be a bit of a hypochondriac and this is driving me crazy. Thanks!
