Hoping for some help. I will try to be straight to the point as I know you all are trying to help other members also. I started having pain in my neck near lymph nodes about 4 months ago and elbow pain near where your funny bones would be on both arms. Over the last 4 to 5 weeks have noticed an onslaught of symptoms starting with weakness that started with right leg and arm that has mostly went away. ( I do realize this would not be als ) About the same time minor twitches and fasciculations. As of today I have twitching from feet to eyes right and left side all over very badly within a 5 week period along with mild cramping in forearm and in calfs. I have sub normal strength in all my extremeties and have not noticed any major atrophy of the muscles. I have attempted to continue on not thinking about these symptoms but cant help when body feels this way. I have been able to play football and basketball but not without feeling rediculously tired and overly sore. 30 days ago I had 2 physical exams by a neuro that looked at me and said was ok and also blood work that was fine. However symptoms seemed to have magnified, not sure if self induced or if bodys trying to tell me something. 1. Do fasciculations/cramps happen that quickly? 2. Dont spasms come after weakness and atrophy? 3. Should I be inquiring about other test. 4. Give me some insight as to what to do next. Thanks
