So I've had a slew of variety of symptoms over the years first being on and off all over muscle twitching. The started about two years ago and subsided probably in a matter of a couple of days. Always seems to come and go. I was just seeing by to neurologist for headaches and some other symptoms, however nothing came up about any nmd type issues.
I had two neurological exams 2 weeks ago, and the doctor who gave second opinion wants me to have an MRI because of new onset headache.
She spent alot of time on my arm reflexes, but said nothing about it. The first Neuro breezed through his exam about 5 mins in total.
I have been having increasing cramping in my hands when using them, and twitching in my thumb. The cramping seems to be happening right in the middle of my hand where my palm is. My thumb seems to favor curving inward.
Now I'm also having cramping in both my feet and muscle spasms in my thighs when I'm relaxing, or in bed. They burn from time to time.
Twitching is happening at night.
About a month ago I was walking off my front porch slipped fell and broke my ankle.
Should I ask for further testing at this point to rule out ALS?
