I am a 19 year old male, will be 20 in two months, I have muscle twitching everywhere in my biceps, face, shoulder, face even butt and hamstrings, I also have numbness in my rings and index finger on both hands. This is really scary, I can lift weights just fine but my fingers are way to numb.
I do not twitch 24/7 I twitch like twice every 5 minutes and sometimes I can go up to 30 minutes without twitching.
I need guidance because I'm really really terrified and depressed.
 
You aren’t describing ALS onset but see a doc bc numbness should be evaluated.
 
Thanks for the reply! Is there a chance I have this because numbness in the finger might be a symptom right? Every part of my body moves just fine. Why did you say numbness should be evaluated I really want to know 🙏🏾
 
Hello-

Please read here, Read Before Posting, for an explanation why numbness (a sensory issue) points to something else. Laurie is recommending you see a doctor because numbness is not normal and should get checked out- it is not a sign of ALS though.

Take care
