Like everyone else I have so much anxiety from this. About 7-8 months ago my left arm started to twitch usually it goes away but it took 2 days to go away. Then the twitching moved to my calfs where it still is today. The twitching moves when it wants to feel it all over my body. But only feel it when I'm at rest meaning if my calfs twitch if I stand on them it goes away and I don't feel anything same as if it was in my arm, once I move the muscle that twitches it stops or goes away. But no matter what I feel it in my calfs when I sit down. I went and still go to the gym no weakness at all can push 250 pounds on the calf machine. I still can run 4 miles on the machines. It scares me so much so I finally went to a Nero.
He did a lower emg test, and said it looks like little nerve damage and wants to do an emg test on my upper body with X-rays of lumbar and cervical of spine and then do a muscle test.
Before all this happened 3-4 months before the twitching started I had pain in my upper back. Out of know were my left arm got warm and numbness a little. The days after I had pain in my left shoulder and arm. My doctor said sounds like you pinched a nerve. Will this happen no muscle twitching until 3 months after that. I so scared I'm only 25 male with my whole life hopefully ahead of me can away explain or help me with this. I twitch at rest ? I have read that als twitching is all the time? Can someone help me out?
