Hello!
I am 20y female. I gave birth last year. After giving birth i have experienced some very strange health issues and have yet to reach an actual diagnosis. Let me preface by saying i am actually seeking medical help, and i acknowledge that i have health anxiety. However the process has by far made my health anxiety worse because of all the waiting on diagnosis (PCP did not refer me to any specialists until 6 months post partum because she thought it was postpartum related). (This is somewhat unrelated because it's autoimmune) Recently i have developed bodywide twitches. They have since been less frequent, but occur more regularly in my right foot than anywhere else. I googled (terrible idea) and ended up spiraling into a health anxiety wormhole. My right ankle is slightly smaller than my left, and my ankle bone is protruding more on that side. My husband made the comment that they had always been that way and that made me feel a bit better. I have no weakness but i guess my biggest questions are:
Could atrophy have occurred with no weakness?
Does it usually start with widespread twitching and consolidate to one area?
