When i read threads on here much of it says anytime twitching happens and it is global by nature then it is a good thing. Ive calmed down with the worrying about ALS, thanks to many answers on here i appreicate that. But what still worries me is, my twitching started in one leg, my upper hamstring and buttox. It was small and annyoning, then it disapeared for a month, then it came back bigger and stronger. The twitching is not there 24 hours a day, somedays it only twitches once or twice, other days more. The twitching has spread though, into my other calf, sometimes my other hamstring, foot, hand, forearm. But it is not as consistant as the one in my left leg. Now my left leg seems smaller, and my left calf is def smaller then my right. However i am told that you have a dominate side, and everything on that dominate side tends to be bigger. I can still do toe raises on my left side, and jump off it. Ive always been jamming my fingers more, i dunno if that is because my hands have gotten weaker. What i am asking, is does it sound like something to worry about?Since my twitches have started in one leg, and kind of moves all over. I also have pins and needles which i believe looks away from ALS, if i am correct. I also have a vibration feeling in the bottom of my feet sometimes after running and such. My twitches basically happen when i am at rest after playing a sport. Now i dont know if i have precieved weakness, or true weakness, because i can still run 3 miles and do wall sits with one leg and both legs. Minute at a time. But what worries me is, does this sound like the beginning of something bad?Like right now i can do it, but is the twitching happening because i am getting weaker. Any feedback id greatly appreciate. Mind you i am 22 years old. And i dont ever cramp really.
