I have read the symptoms and forums and avoided posting but I haven't slept and I'm so worried. Single mom, 48. 8 days ago I did a workout with shoulder taps, my left shoulder hurt during but I persisted. I am clinging to this, but it wasn't a crazy workout, it was short and I'd say of easy intensity. The next day I started with a twitching muscle in my left arm about 5 inches above my elbow. I have tried to ignore it and the day before yesterday I thought it was going away. I did a hike and didnt notice it at all except for a couple of little twitches before bed. Then yesterday it was like payback. I twitched all day and night in that spot. It is visible to to others. I don't quite understand clinical weakness, I keep "checking" and my arm seems to be functioning. I did have a run of all over twitches a few mos ago and I accepted them and they subsided but this is much different. Is there anything that can cause a constant ( very little reprieve if any) twitch in one spot aside from a worst case? I keep seeing twitches all over or twitches in calves, but since this is one spot in my arm I could really use some input as to how serious this sounds. We lost my daughter's father just before Covid and I just have this mix of fear and guilt like I may have triggered something awful. Feedback is appreciated. Thank you.
Not to be totally weird but I am not getting any responses, it's making me more worried. Is localized really this concerning? I have an appt with my doctor later today
