Greetings to all who give me some of you cherished time!
I'm a 35 year old male with persisting symptoms for 5 months. I have a neuro appointment in two weeks.
November- What I believed to be Tennis elbow and and strange widespread muscle pain, that came and went quickly. On the Thanksgiving holiday I had a tight feeling in my hips driving to NY mothers house. When I stood up from being seated at the dinner table it felt as if my hips were popping out. The hip issues have not been happening since. Was tested for Lyme twice negative result.
Forwarded to rheumatology due to lupus test coming back equivocal, ran again with negative result.
Lower extremities start with persistent twitching in feet and some calf/ankle twitching. Bottom on feet feel a tightness/twisting feeling. Inner elbow discomfort persistent with a fun new symptom a "shin splint feeling tightness" began out after hunting.
February-Twitching persistent in lower extremities along with more widespread twitching in arms, shoulders and tounge. Shin/elbow tightness persistent tried compression bands on both. After wearing for week,soon as I would take them off would it would reappear.
March-All previously mentioned symptoms persistent along with a new symptom feeling of discomfort under chin gland muscle with pressure in my ears that comes and goes. Minor "Charley horses" in calfs but when they did come they stayed for a day or so. Also tightness in both pectoral areas comes and goes.
April- Went down the Google ALS wormhole and had a legitimate reason to hop up on my washer and just bump my knee reflex area. In my incompetent opinion my reflexes are brisk. Not going to lie I'm a bit nerved no pun intended.
I Never go to the Dr for anything but I am truly concerned as I am a single father of a 10 year old daughter.
Thanks to all who gave this a read and their honest opinion.
