Three weeks ago suddenly I got hedeaches and later some sporadical pricking pain in some muscles and the urethra. After a week the doctor told me that it was is a common flu-virus and that in a few days all would be fine.
After I day I felt better and went to the gym, I stepped 25 min in the orbital machine. When coming back home that night I got an onset of twitching in both thighs, calves and sporadically in arms, back, abdominal (just two weeks ago)... Since then I have had very different sensorial feelings like tingling in my hands and feet, pain and tiredness in my legs, stiff muscle in my leftt thigh, even the "crawling bug" feeling under the skin. A nerologist made a physical checking 3 days after the onset (11 days ago) and he did not find any irregular sign, but only the fasciculatons. He appoointed a new cheking on May 6h.
NEW FASCICULATIONS
Yesterday I was confident that I could have BFS, but today I saw, but not feel, a new sort of fine-fast "fasciculations" when I flex my thighs. I though those were "fibrillations", but fibrilations can not seen by a naked eye. The original twitching was strong and could some times move my knee. And still occurs, but the NEW "fasculations" along boh thigh are nor thick or wide but long and I DO NOT FEEL THEM AT ALL. My muscles still have muscular tone, i can contract them, I feel them tired but keep full range of movement. I am getting the impression that the left leg is slightly samller,, but It has been always my weak leg. I also have got spinal myoclonus: very strong jers in my back when falling as sleep.
I have been doing physotherapy in my left thigh, also a lot of strong massage mainly in the left buttocks and lees in the right. The muscles there have been hard for many years, opressing the nerves and that caused me sciatica like pain.
Question: Could be these fine-fast long fasciulations when contracting my thight a consequence of swollen tissue that presses the nerves? Why I do not feel them? THANKS for your attention, HOPE TO GET YOUR OPINION. G (49 years old).
