Hi all!
A couple of weeks ago my right shoulder started twitching, this was with a tight shoulder after a workout. Eventually, it started to calm down, saw my chiropractor and it went away for a few days. Now the twitching is back, long with very minor minor minor twitching in my calf’s and few other random spots. Now I am in full mode freak out that it’s ALS. I am 30 years old and pretty healthy. My grandma had ALS and passed in her late 80’s, shortly after diagnosed. My dad is perfectly healthy.
But I can’t stop thinking about it, which may be triggering it. Is that possible? I don’t feel stressed but this is stressing me out. Apart of me thinks it could just be stress:
-I am finishing up my final rotation of grad school and the first month I was at a PEDS clinic that wasn’t following any safety precautions and I was stick to my stomach everyday, but then I was able to switch in July and that got better.
-my wife is 36 weeks pregnant so maybe I am stressed about that? I don’t feel stressed. I can’t wait, but maybe I am just anxious about it?
- then there’s dealing with covid and just trying to stay healthy.
-also having jaw surgery in December.
So I feel like maybe I am just anxious and stressed and my body is responding even though I don’t feel stressed? I know my body is always tense and just tight.
Anyone have history or have dealt with twitches? This is the first I have had it like this. It’s not all day and not constant. It comes and goes and it last a minute or two.
Thanks!
