Hi,
I would like to thank you in advance for your time and response.
This started in April of this year. I got significant fasics on my left tricep, I brushed it off as post work out muscle fatigue and it went away. Fast forward a a month later I noticed palpable twitching under my right thigh when I was sitting. It would go away when I would stand up. Further, couple of weeks later this twitch moved to the arch of my right foot (carried on for a couple of days). After that I started noticing some stiffness in my right leg and weird sensations in the hip/buttocks area while lying down on my back. Intermittent twitching was still happening in my legs.
I finally went to the Neuro 2 weeks ago, he said he did not notice much in the clinical exam. He also noted that I am anxious, and put me on Zoloft 25 followed by 50 and Etizolam 0.25 mg 2 xper day. He suggested that I come back after 3 weeks for an MRI/EMG/NCV. Since this day I can feel twitches/fasics/ pops all over my body - Feet, back, hips, calves/thighs, arms. I have also started noticing some tremors in my fingers. I feel highly fatigued since the last two months and have discontinued my work outs and walks. I can notice the twitching in my legs after I walk.
I went to the Neuro again and he did an EMG to rule stuff out. During the EMG he said he did not find anything sinister (I will post the final report today).
I am very stressed because of these twitches, and they are constant when I am going to bed or when I wake up. I am starting to feel weaker (perceived weakness) on my right leg, my right knee felt like it was not being able to take my weight yesterday. Can someone please help?! I have no idea what I am going through.
