Hello everyone,
I was initially super worried because I had bodywide twitching but then learned that twitching means nothing without weakness. I am not so anxious anymore as I just want answers.
My twitching has really localized to the left calf and foot but I get twitching in the right leg just not to the degree as the left. Again these are the least of my worries.
My challenge is with my left foot. All of a sudden it's weird to walk on it, sort of like there isn't enough foot to step on if that makes sense. I've seen people's stories start with a foot where they can't run as fast, or walking is challenging and I currently am having those issues. It's harder to get on my left tip toes and there's a constant uneasiness on that foot that I don't have on the right foot. I've never had this issue before. My neuro isn't sure what is causing it but I'm going in for an MRI.
I am trying not to just search the forum for symptoms but I know something is very off with my body. It feels uncomfortable and off every day on this particular left foot. It's been a month now and it doesn't come and go. I can't tell if it's because the muscles are growing weaker. I have read the forum thread about what is and isn't ALS and I understand it all. I understand it's not about feeling but about failing. But this foot doesn't just feel weird and tingly anymore, it isn't able to walk as fast anymore or run normally. I am concerned.
