Hi I am a 44 year old obese man. In January this year my Leg began to collapse during exercise. I Ride a mountain bike a lot and it was getting to the point that after I had been riding for a while and put my left leg down or pushed off on it, it would collapse below the back of the knee in pain which lasts for about 10 seconds. I also get constant extremely bad twitches in my left calve and thigh but also get them in my thumbs, feet and toes and right calf.
I have seen a physio and she could not find anything wrong and told me to do strength exercises. I saw a neuro specialist last week who was not very talkative but put me on the waiting list for an EMG for which there is a 12 week waiting list (ahhhh). All he would tell me is that it needs investigating. He was able to bring on fasciculations by tapping the calf muscle. Im sure i shouldn't but ive been googling it and came up with a lot of worrying information (or misinformation) .
Anyone have any thoughts on this it would be appreciated.
Thankyou in Advance.
Mike
