Hi -
About a month and a half ago I had tremors in my left hand between index finger and thumb that kept me up at night. Went to the doctor and she sent me to sports doctor thinking it was compressed nerve. By that time had fasciculations all over my body including tremor on left hand ring finger that caused it shake. He took one look at me and was concerned because of atrophy and weakness of area between thumb and index finger and said my calves were underdeveloped. To test weakness of thumb and index finger, had me try and hold a piece of paper between thumb and index finger and apparently I didn't do well. He was pretty concerned about ALS and hooked me up with a specialist who I see on Wednesday. He did a neck MRI and didn't see anything. What other things might this be?
Thanks
