Hello all,
Was wondering if any of you would be so kind as to tell me whether the troubles I've been dealing with in my hand/arm could be caused by ALS.
This hand stuff all started only a week ago. I've had twitching EVERYWHERE for a year so, used to be worse but it's definitely still there. Anyway, my thumb started feeling funny last week, a bit stiff. Then I had a bit of an odd pain start in my wrist. Sometimes it radiates into my forearm it seems. And now I always feel like I need to sit on my hand or have it in my pocket or do something with it just because it feels so uncomfortable and for some reason that helps. Sometimes my arm seems really heavy too.
After a few days, I've felt as though I can't control my hand as well, though I can still do the things I need to do with it. Something's going on in my first 3 fingers as well , it's like there's buzzing or something weird going on in there. I hope this isn't the "see but can't feel" twitches I've heard of... Especially because of the location and other symptoms. I've had a few other weird sensations in my hand too. I'm just really worried.
I called my Dr. today and got myself a neurologist appointment for early June. But that's so far away. I'm just really worried about this
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
