Hey I'm 31 m from Turkey, i've been experiencing some neurological symptoms for the last 4 months, twitching, muscle pain and weakness, numbness and tingling are the symptoms and they come and go time to time. I've been to neurologist 2 times, she mostly thinks that i have anxiety, cant find any clinical weakness on hands and refuses to perform an EMG. But after my 2. neuro visit my left hand started to hurt, felt stiff and weak all in just one day and my ALS anxiety kicked in again and i started to compare my hands.
My left thenar seems smaller compared to right one as if it doesnt have bulky muscle at all, it looks flat and feels softer when i do the ok sign and touch it, so my question is can you get weakness and atrophy in just a week or lets say 10 days? also i realise when i pinch something with my left hand, sometimes my thumb mcp joint collapses. Does this happen in ALS?
Just wanna learn about how fast you can get weakness and atrophy if hands are affected
