Hi all,
I have some concerns and looking for opinions (not advice) from some people more knowledgeable and not google!
I have been having discomfort and constant aching in my right hand for well over a week now. It’s mainly in my thumb, between that and my finger but the whole hand is aching (there is no associated injury that’s happened). I am also finding that I’m getting random tight feelings in other parts of my body, mainly my biceps and calves, both sides of my body.
In addition I am getting random muscle twitches.
By random I mean the odd one twitch in different parts of my body (I’ll have one in my calf, then one on my bum (sorry) and so on). They don’t happen often but a few times a day.
I know that ALS/MND usually manifests on one side of the body but having symptoms all over, does that mean progression is quick?
I have no weakness or muscle loss, whilst my hand feels a little weak, it isn’t and I can still do everything.
Im just curious if this sounds like it could be the start of ALS?
