Sow, first of all, thank you for this forum!
It's amazing that you give your time to help people with all their questions. I read a lot of the threads here already.
Sow, my history, Im from Belgium, 25 years old, i'm going to try my best for speaking English here.
A 5 months ago, i started twitching in the calves. First thing what i did was searching it on the internet, went to the rabbit hole. After two weeks, i visited a Neurologist. He did the clinical exam, everything OK he said, he saw some twitching. He ordered an EMG at the end of February. That neurologist told me he that is was very unlikely to have something serious, but he saw that my muscles were "cramping" or "moving" very quickly, he ordered a MRI for the muscles.
Then at the beginning of April, we discussed the results of the MRI, he ordered a second EMG for the 13th of June to see of everything is the same or worse.
That's a little summary.
I visited a lot of the BFS-sites and groups on the web. I know that anxiety can make these things worse.
But for me, the thing that gnaws me. Is they are all the time in my right leg, my right leg smaller then the left one, i have for 80% of the time the twitching, jerks, jolts, jumping muscle. I thought that when you use the muscle, it should stop. But even when im driving car, all the bad things are in my right leg, even when standing.
Just like when i use my right arm, for example using the mouse, the elbow, or just a little above the elbow Starts twitching. I hate that, since then, there isn't a day when my right leg is doing all those stuff. It's just scares me that it is in the smaller leg and everyday, when i wake up, i just want that it stops for a single.
Know when i'm sitting, i don't know if it are twitches or, but it feels like i need to scratch or push on it, it feels like there crawling things on my leg.
Even when doing something outside, i really want to sports, but that right leg, is getting tired so fast.
I hope that the second EMG will be more positive. I just want to get it to stop. Sorry for sending the message.
