Hello, I am a white man, 33 years old, from the Czech Republic. It is true that I suffer from health anxiety. Recently I have noticed fasciculations on my arm, proximal part of my leg and sometimes so differently on my body. In addition to this I have such neuropathic pains as I feel sometimes an electrifying pain in the muscles of my leg, arm, etc. The muscle in the upper part of my left leg has also somehow frozen, and I feel a cramp in it at times, a sort of twitching when I walk. The muscle hurts so much that it makes my testicle ache, and when I touch it, it feels kind of frozen to the touch. The sensitivity on the surface of the muscle is reduced. When I dig my fingernail into it or run my fingernail over it I don't feel it like I normally do on the other leg or elsewhere on my body. I don't feel any muscle weakness or other symptoms yet. I don't trip or anything like that. However, the fasciculations along with the neuropathic pain and the difficulty with the muscle made me make an appointment with a neurologist. Should I request an EMG? I should tell him my concerns about ALS.
