AHello everyone, I am 28 years old and I've been experiencing neurological symptoms for the past 7 months (since may). My first symptoms were twitching in my left calf and aches, after a little bit I began to feel the same sensations in my right leg.
The months were passing and my emotional was very shaken cuz I got very worried about my health. The symptoms increased and I began to felt twitching in the chin, back, entire legs and elbow and very strangely in a single point of the right hand (just below the ring finger) and a tingling at a single point on the sole of my left foot, my biceps seem to jump out some times and I got tremors when trying to leave my finger static..
I performed several tests 2 months ago, MRI of my brain that observed a calcification of 5mm on the right side, and another one from the complete spine that small c6-c7 protrusions were identified, I also performed lower limb electroneuromyography which showed normal results (without denervation/fascics and etc..) but with reduced conduction observed in both fibular (right / left) nerves.
My neurodoctor told me to take easy and prescribed medication for anxiety, Ive taken it regularly but for about a week I began to feel a weakness in the shoulders, elbows and knees, and my joints are always cracking, I do not know if it can be considered a clinical weakness cuz I can carry out all my tasks normally but my strength is no longer the same, I feel pain and fatigue when performing them accompanied by lack of balance.
I'm pretty scared about my condition, I have a feeling that I need to stretch my muscles (especially the arms) every 5 minutes, it's a lot of symptoms that I got and Im feeling scared every day, I try to keep calm but my thoughts are always letting me down, I would appreciate any help or opinions, thanks for everyone...
