Hi everyone.
I wanted to post because of recent events that have made me incredibly scared. I have almost come to terms with my twitches since it has been over 20 months, although recently they have gotten much much worse and consistent.
I have been seeing a PT for shoulder stiffness and joint cracking in my left shoulder (this shoulder and arm twitch like crazy but none on the right), and she told me I have weakness which is why the joints are cracking because the muscle can’t support the joint. This arm feels off too and I have problems with raise it up in the arm often.
yes I know that twitching means nothing, but I also have hyperreflexia, and my EMG showed polyphasic units. My neuro also confirmed my right calf has atrophy.
I am sorry, I am just not in a good place right now after that appointment.
