Good evening everyone. My names Jason and I'm 29 years old from the UK.
I need some general advise from yourself's as I am experiencing symptoms that are worrying me.
I think I might have weakness in my left shoulder because I have this unconfortableness and feeling in the left shoulder blade which I can't describe now I am left handed and this is my dominant hand so I should have no problem doing things but for the last few months I can't shake this feeling in my shoulder blades now I don't know what weakness is but I think I have it.
I've been doing some crazy things out of character for me like lifting my sofas with one hand checking strength, lifting my small dog above my head but she feels like a ton like the weight pushing back on me, just stupid things testing my strength. What concerned me was there was a glass bottle in my fridge and I couldn't open the bottle cap and no matter how hard I tried I couldnt I took it too my teenage son who also couldn't open it. I managed too open it with my teeth and then screwed it back on and could open it no problem also with other bottles I can open no bother and I'm not sure if the bottle cap was stuck because it was in there a long time.
I also have twitches in my right leg calves and a twitching hotspot near my ankle bone and this pulses in and out then sends a twitch straight up my leg. I can run up stairs quickly and can run outdoors no problem and can raise my legs above my head.
I also thing I am slurring words when I am speaking and have asked people if my speech sounds slurred they said no but I feel as if I am when talking and I also have loads of saliva in my mouth also.
I've been too 4 different doctors who have done reflex and strength tests and said everything seems fine along with 2 full clears blood samples. I was back at the 5th doctor and there sending me too a neuro as she said I've been down too see them a few times anout twitching and she wants the neuro just too check too put me too ease.
Any advise would be great
Thank you.
