Hi all,
Much respect for each of you. I’m hoping to get a sense if others have experienced similar symptoms.
I am a 26 White/Hispanic female
I’m visiting my PCP this upcoming week but hoping to minimize my anxiety before then.
I noticed about 2 weeks ago atrophy in my right hand (mostly in my wrist and my ring finger) I’ve noticed this pinching sensation and pain in my wrist intermittently since then. I can still do my daily activities fine. I do feel some strain in my thumb and fingers after some activity.
I then noticed spasticity in my right forearm that has eased up - not as tight or sore. But does feel a bit fatigued after some activity
Last night I had tingling/slight pins n needles in my left ankle. Widespread twitching - everywhere plus muscle spasms everywhere. I’ve also had itching sensations in my right breast and right forearm where it has been tight. I’ve also noticed that both my arms feel like they fall asleep faster than normal.
I haven’t been exercising regularly and have been wearing both a ring and an Apple Watch on my right hand for the last couple of years. So I’m suspecting some sort of nerve neuropathy.
I’m having massive difficulty focusing as I’m uncomfortable and scared. I’m not in a situation where I have someone nearby that could be a caregiver and I’m so scared.
I’m sorry if this post isn’t appropriate. Struggling with massive anxiety and hoping to hear something reassuring.
