My right adductor pollicis is smaller than my left.

Hi everyone. I would like to thank you all for letting me join. I understand that everybody on here are going through a lot and have to deal with there own issues. So, thank you for taking your time to read my post. My issue is I’ve been having a lot of twitching in my legs lately. I understand that does not mean I have ALS. Though I have noticed my right adductor pollicis (my dominate hand ) is smaller than my left. Is this common? I’m a tad worried. Again thanks for taking a look.

Everyone is asymmetrical in some way -- some muscle(s) on one side smaller than the other side.

You don't describe anything alarming. ALS entails inability to do something, not twitching or even atrophy alone if you had it.

If you read other posts, you will see that there are many ways that twitching can begin to feel better, starting with any nutritional deficiencies to dehydration, stress, sleep, need for more exercise, etc.

Best,
Laurie
