I’ve experienced this for a while
• right shoulder pain for about 8-9 months it started with some light pain and stiffness then while in the shower I was going to wash my hair but it felt like something snapped, it didn’t but that was the feeling, I did lose all power in the arm for a while. so I couldn’t use my arm for like a week due to pain and mobility issues, I couldn’t raise my arm above my head. I still have pain in my shoulder and a little stiffness and the bone cracks while I try to stretch the arm. The pain and stiffness in the shoulder can disappear for a couple of days and then return. I don’t know if it’s really gone or if I’m not thinking about it?.
• stiff right hand
I’ve had this on and of for maybe a year where i feel resistance when I try to extend my fingers fully and the thumb is really stiff. 2 days ago I noticed that the area around the thumb stared to twitch visible, it lasted for maybe 20 sec and hasn’t happened since. I have a hard time using a pen, I can write but it feels very tiring and I get pain from it but I’ve thought this was because of stiff hand but now I’m worried.
•right arm feels heavy, the left arm feels light and normal but the right is stiff and I sometimes get tingles shooting in the arm when I lift something or fully extend it. It feels like my arm never relaxes.
Face• i have had a tingly sensation in my right cheek for a year at least, it is sensitive to touch, the cheek is a little puffy and when you touch it I get a tingly sensation.
I don’t know if I’ve lost muscles or strength it’s not something I’ve noticed.
I can get small twitches in legs chest all over the place really but it’s mostly on twitch and then it’s over it’s not like it was with the hand.
I didn’t think of it then but I remember that maybe a week ago I smoked a cigarette and I started to produce very much salvia nothing like I’ve experienced before but that when away after like 5 minutes.
I work at a warehouse driving a pallet truck and while you steer the steering wheel your shoulder makes a bad motion I think and you use the thumb to accelerate I’ve thought this was the cause of my troubles but now I’m worried it could be something serious
Is any of my symptoms consistent with als symptoms? Should I see a doctor or am I worrying to much.
The Twitch that happened in the hand was where I marked it on the pic, i think I’m a little more swollen on the right hand, could that be muscle loss? I have since that twitch experienced it more often just for like 15 minutes ago I felt and could see it twitch in right bicep and then in the outer hand near the pinky and then in my left thigh I don’t now what to do I’m so worried.
