Hello all,
Since my last post I was sent to PT. the fasiculations and cramps have been getting worse and my hand dexterity is declining to where I was asked to take a leave of abscence from work. It started with dropping multiple bottles ( bartender) and then dropping glassware and cutting my hand quite badly.
I was told that the strength deficit was " not concerning" by my GP. When I went in for physiotherapy used a gauge to measure my grip strength. The average for a 32 year old man in the left hand is 127, mine was 46. I am unsure how this could be considered not concerning.
Whenever I do any sort of pushing motion or use my right hand the same muscle fasiculates non stop until I stop exertion. It is below my right elbow, inner triceps area. Also inner elbow pain. I've also developed uncontrolled arm shaking and ab shaking whenever I yawn. It's quite violent. I am still uncertain why I will not be given another EMG. Still have brisk reflexes. Really at a loss.
I lost my grandmother a week before my birthday unexpectedly this year. She was the only family I had. Definitely making things harder for me. At this point I don't know what to do.
