Hi,
Firstly thanks for anyone who takes time to respond, Ive read the sticky and tried to avoid posting until now but I'd just like opinions from you experienced people. After that I wont be a person the posts and post, I assure you.
So, me, 34 year old male keep pretty fit and healthy and not overly anxious about things, but Im posting here so maybe I am!
For a couple of weeks Ive felt my left arm and leg have been weak, and almost not mine if that makes any sense. Ring finger tremor in certain positions and just arm feeling generally shakey, although not shaking.No clinical weakness as far as I am aware so on the basis of the sticky, I said, dont make a post.
Ive also had twitches in various places, but only a couple or so an hour and I know this is pretty normal, so again, avoided posting.
Finally on comparing arms (which i know wont be perfectly symmetrical) I feel like there is an obvious depression on my left forearm, only in certain positions, I can actually feel it. Now this could just be where a muscle joins but as the other side is different and given my other "symptoms" I wanted to attach a photo for opinions. I dont go to the doctor often and dont want to go and feel like an idiot.
A former colleague has been diagnosed and Im sure this maybe has set things in motion in my mind, before I had a child I wouldnt have given this a seconds thought.
Photos attached, depression below inner elbow, right arm included for comparison.
Thanks for your time and hope everyone has a nice Xmas.
