Hi all
As you all know i have had calf twitching for 5 months and a clean emg after 3 months but with a slow nerve test on my problem leg. The last 3 days have been hell, i have always had soreness in my calf since my twitching began but now when i walk my leg seizes up on me and its goes in cramp all the time as i am walking. I feel like i have to stop and stretch out my leg to make it go away. It also aches all the time i walk.
I am so so scared today that i do have ALS that its now ruining my life, i cant think of anything else, everytime i walk i get so scared that it will happen, for the past 2 months i have literally thought about every step i have took. I am scared to walk anywhere and i dont know what to do.
My next Neuro appointment is not until June and he has basically told me that i just have to get on with it. I hear so many stories about people getting clean EMG's but then getting a dirty one later on.
i have so many things running round my head right now, i have never been this low and scared. my leg feels stiff, is this spactity? why do i always go in cramp all the time?
when i was walking tonight and i felt the tightness and cramping, when i wiggles my toes while walking and i could feel it pulling up my calf.
I am really really sorry to put a post like this but i am on the verge of a break down because of this, its all i think about 24/7. Its my gorgeous wifes birthday today and i am sat crying in her arms...i am a wreck.
She seems to think that some of this could be down do anxiety and that i should talk to someone but the pain is real i feel sick with worry..
Not really sure what this post is asking but had to put my feelings down.
Thanks for reading
Chris
