I have been experiencing pain in my left should. Feels like I have just slept on it wrong. This started November of 2022. Then arm has atrophy and I can’t lift weight above 5-10lbs without help. I have full motor range, fairly good grip strength. Also the atrophy has entered the top part of pec next to arm.
I don’t have pain when lifting any weight just weak. The rest of my body hasn’t been experiencing any discomfort, until about 2 weeks ago my right shoulder started aching like I’ve slept on it wrong.
I just had emg, blood work done & MRI on august 31st.
I do have muscle twitching but have had tremors must of my life.
So my question is are these the early symptoms or just my mind ? Doctor ordered all these different test. Told me if they all come back negative I have ALS.
So just wondering the pain type feeling and the progression of weekends and atrophy.
Also I’m 52.
