Hey guys!
I’m sure you get this all the time as i can tell by the threads that are posted . But here’s my worry ....
My dad died this past January from als at 68. I’m worried sick that i have the symptoms and here’s why .
In February it’ll be 2 years with muscle twitches . I went and say a neurologist that may and he gave me the exam and checked over everything. I told him i was getting muscle twitches all over and that my left hand and shoulder felt weaker and different then my right . I am right handed so i don’t know if it usually attacks dominate side first.
He had me do an EMG that July and said it was clean except for CTS and i believe that because my wrist pops constantly.
Fast forward to this past week , I’ve had a burning /pain feel in my left shoulder and it feels weak again along with my left hand . It seemed like my twitches subsided for a while until recently again. I kkow stress can bring on the twitches along with anxiety but having the arm stuff happening is really flipping me out. If i hold my arms striaghtviut my left hand /fingers will shake a little. Don’t know if that’s from CTS or not .
I’m just worried sick about it but i don’t think if it was ALS I’d be able to drop down and know out 20 push-ups on my finger tips or be able to carry heavier stuff . Or is that possible? Thanks for helping in advance
