Hello I am 19 year old male it all started with lower back pain so used to play games all the time and I was a streamer because of covid I got the chance to stream day and night 9-10 hours I was sitting at the table one day I just couldn't move every movement was like electric shocks Doctor advices me to rest it seemed muscular pain the pain faded away in 2-3 weeks but I was not okay pain was still there I could not sit cross legged and I couldn't bend down fully anyways I went to the doctor he said MRI BLOOD TEST they all came back normal mri nothing was found no disc herniation blood test were normal he advices walk daily and no computer for 3 months I started walking and then suddenly twitching started happening it was mainly in my back calves buttocks and arches of feet ok so it was in. The lower part but soon after this it turned into body wide twitching it didn't twitch continuously it would twitch 1 time or 2 time and it would move on to the next place it was consistent if I twitched in my arm next would be my back feet leg anywhere but not that place it almost seemed like a cycle I went to nuero he said emg NCV I got ready for the emg NCV emg NCV was done everything was normal the doctor performing it said nothing is wrong and when the twitching didn't stop I went to Dr Google and it's been down the drain hole als als als I have been crying nonstop 24/7 and I got my emg after a month almost when twtiching started so I got it in August and I started twitching almost in early july so almost 2 months have passed I am still twitching I went to another neuro I told her my fear she said children don't have als she did some test she made me grip her finger she said close your eyes and raise your arms infront of u resistive test she almost made fun of me and said it's anxiety and to be happy I have a few questions please please answer it i have to prepare for medical entrance exam I am trying to become a doctor and I just can't study can't study please u guys are much more brave and strong hearted and I wasn't going to post but I just can't help it
