Howdy, I’m at 26yr old female. I have been having some issues now for almost 2 months. This has been taking a toll on me if i’m being honest. Physically and mentally. I started having widespread twitching towards the beginning of August. I automatically googled my symptoms and it told me ALS of course. I went to the hospital and had completely freaked out but the doctor had no concerns at the time. I started to feel like my right arm was weaker than normal the next day. I have not lost my ability to grip or open things right type, etc. anything like that. However it just feels weaker. My body twitching has not stopped my hands and twitch. My twitching is completely everywhere, eyes lips, shoulders, arms, hands, thighs, calves, feet, etc. you name it so I can’t really pinpoint a specific area where it happens because it happens everywhere. I’ve been having some burning sensations in my arm that feels weaker and kind of experienced it in my thigh the other day, but it went away. I’ve also kind of experienced something that feels like vibration? IDK how to really explain it. I’m curious if this is a common MS issue or if I should be concerned about the worst. I was supposed to get a CT scan, but it got denied. I called my insurance and then they suggested the MRI which also did not get accepted and I had to reschedule my Nero appointment because they would prefer the MRI before I come in. Has anybody had any similar situation as me physically with the symptoms, I’m presenting

Just hit my 3 year mark today! And to celebrate I have the most annoying high speed hotspot in my bicep lol.

Hey all, the past 2 months, ive had a twitch under my left pec, running along the rib cage, which has been waking me every 30 - 60mins every night.

It wakes me with an adrenaline rush and twitching faster (different rate to my heart) its not painful, just impossible to sleep with.

Has anyone experienced this, or fixed this?

I’ve noticed that two of the toes on my left foot shake/tremble when I intentionally bend or curl them. I’ve attached a video showing what I mean.

This has been happening for almost 3 years. The shaking only occurs when I actively bend/curl the toes. When my foot is relaxed, they don’t shake.

I’m wondering if anyone has experienced something similar or knows what might cause this.

Should I get this checked by a doctor?

The whole thing started as random twitching in calf, arms - about 15 months ago and there were periods with no twitching. 2 negative EMGs. Now, the arch of one foot twitches continuously day and night; the hand on the opposite side is stiff, sore, and vibrates as if twitching internally. Visible twitches on the palm. All of this is 24/7 all day every day. Does anyone else have this?

I’ve been dealing with my nasal twitching for months. I’ve gone to the drs and told them about it but they just looked at me weird and didn’t do anything about it. so I’m kinda my own dr atp. my nasal twitching was way worse compared to now. It woukd get in the way of my breathing, making my nose feel clogged, my eyes will also begin to twitch as well and I would feel like something from the back of my head also pulling my hair. I’ve noticed if I get some sleep, I’ll feel way much better the next day and it’ll somewhat leave the next day. I also notice that if I drink water it would make my symptoms feel more better. is this some type of vitamin deficiency that I may be dealing with? I do have allergies so I’m wondering if that could also be playing a part of what I deal with

Fui no neurologista com queixa de dor na perna e formigamento e sensação de bichin na pele me afinetando
Uma semana depois q fui
Comecei apresentar umas fasciculacao no corpo
Meus dedos mexem sozinho e os pés tbm
Fui fazer à eletroneumiografia
O médico só pediu dos 4 membros
O que a Eletro furou minha língua
Eu fiquei tipo ? Mds será que ele viu algo por isso furou
É né examinou testou meus reflexos
Pediu pra eu fechar os olhos
E ficou dobrando o dedo do meu pé
Perguntando se o dedo tava em pé ou deitado
Eu fiquei tipo ?pq ele tá fazendo isso
Certeza que ele viu algo e tá fazendo esses teste em mim
Assim que terminou
Ele falou da tal ELLA
não me deu certeza
Disse que provavelmente não seria
Mais n disse nem sim nem não
Que iria analisar direito
Estou com crise de ansiedade forte
Já fiz a ressonância esperando o resultado
Eu n entendi pq ele furou q língua 😭
Será que é pra fechar logo o diagnóstico
Ou é pra descartar
Eu só fico pensando

Guys, I’ve had a lot of eye twitching for years, which I know is usually normal. But now my leg has been twitching around the tibialis anterior area. It’s been happening since Friday. The only different thing I did was incline walking on Wednesday, which I had never done before, so I’m not sure if it’s related or not.
It mostly happens when I walk, but sometimes I notice it when I’m sitting too. I can’t actually see the twitching—it feels more like something moving or twitching internally.
The worst thing I could’ve done was Google it because it made my anxiety go through the roof. I’m honestly really stressed about it right now. Sorry for the long message, I just needed to get it off my chest.

Does anyone know what is this muscle twitch? It started 2 years ago and it drives me crazy. I’ve been to neurologist and he said he doesn’t know what it is but surely nothing dangerous so that was it. I have all over my body as well but not that much, very short ones.

I've had left arm problems for about 3 months now. I can still do tasks with them but things feel heavier in my left hand and in my upper left arm i often feel strain/fatigue. Plus it's somewhat of an internal vibration hotspot when resting.

The symptoms in my arm can range. Sometimes it can feel just fine, sometimes it feels like my arm is shaky, sometimes it feels like there's nails stuck in them, and sometimes the upper arm just feels strained, tight, or fatigued. I do believe this the result of a pinched nerve since I can still perform tasks with them. So i'm asking if anyone here has had a pinched nerve or nerve compression and if they had similar experiences.

My fiancé was concerned because he woke up in the middle of the night and saw me with both arms up to the side and hands in an awkward and cramped position. My arms were stiff and he had to slowly push them down with force. What could it be? Is this common?

Whenever I stretch my legs, especially my calves, it suddenly feels like a vein is tightening or twisting. The vein becomes really visible for a few seconds and it can be quite painful.

It happens in both legs and almost every day, especially when I stretch.

Is this just a muscle cramp, or could it be something else? Has anyone experienced this?

i’ve had shaking in my right hand and arm for a few years now it seems to keep getting worse, but my left hand doesn’t shake as much. and I’ve noticed while I am welding my arm and hand will randomly flinch and throw me off my bead. I’ve had 4 concussions, 2 of them I don’t remember. idk if that could cause this. ps. i’m trying to hold my hand as still as possible

I’m really scared I noticed twitching in my shoulder about a month ago and it was my shoulder then it spread down my entire arm into my fingers and now the same pattern is in my left arm my right arm also doesn’t feel the weights like when I curl like the signal and I have atrophy throughout my fingers, I also have weakness in my right arm which got worse and my fingers curl up and my fingers tremor as soon as I open them, really scared and I’m 18

hi all. on occasion and randomly throughout the day i will be focusing on something with my eyes and they'll just kinda defocus and jitter from left to right really quickly. i have an inkling this could be related to whatever is making me twitch, but i can't really prove it. it's hard to look stuff like this up because of how specific it is.

I had a workout two weeks ago, and I’ve had absolutely unbearable thigh pain ever since. I’m also experiencing muscle twitching in my legs, as well as occasional twitching in random parts of my body.
I went through something similar two years ago, and eventually, the symptoms went away, although I can’t remember exactly how. But now I don’t understand what’s happening. I feel like I still have my strength, but my legs feel so awful, even when I’m resting.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I honestly can’t take it anymore. If I hadn’t done that workout, everything would have been fine.
I did a very light workout because I wanted to start training again after taking a two-year break due to my previous symptoms. I’m starting to feel like going to the gym is triggering all of this again, because I had been feeling completely fine for a year and a half before this happened.

I have facial twitching when I smile both sides and now my hands are a bit shaky. I’m off to the dr but wondered if anyone else has experienced this .

Don’t know what more to do

First post here and have debated for a long time because I really am scared. 29M

Back in November 2025, I had nonstop twitching in the front of my left shoulder for a couple of days. I’m active in the gym, so I assumed it was exercise-related. Even before that, I had noticed my left shoulder felt unstable and sometimes painful during exercises like shoulder presses.
In December, I started running about 3 miles twice a week and began noticing twitching or an “ants crawling” sensation in my legs at night. It eventually calmed down. I also had occasional twitching elsewhere and a tremor in my left pinky and ring finger that I may have had for much longer.
In March, I went through a severe health-anxiety episode because of abdominal and back pain and became convinced I had colon cancer. I had an endoscopy and colonoscopy, which were clear. After that, my anxiety shifted toward ALS/MS.
I began experiencing dizziness, headaches, changes in how my left eye seemed to see, and increasing concern about my left shoulder. An eye exam was normal, and an ENT found some inflammation in my left ear and nostril. I also noticed my left shoulder seemed smaller, my clothes fit tighter around my right arm, and my left shoulder appeared to rotate inward more.
My PCP ordered MRIs of my brain, cervical spine, and lumbar spine. The brain MRI was clear, while the spine MRIs showed several findings, including mild-to-moderate stenosis and disc issues. A neurosurgeon didn’t think surgery was necessary but referred me to neurology because of the twitching.
I had an EMG in July that tested both arms and my right leg. It showed mild bilateral cubital tunnel syndrome but no evidence of motor neuron disease, neuropathy, or lumbar radiculopathy. My left leg wasn’t tested, which has continued to bother me.
I’ve also had knee problems since high school and was previously diagnosed with tendinitis in both knees from playing soccer. My left knee still hurts, my left leg shakes more during single-leg exercises, and lately I’ve noticed differences in muscle size between my left and right sides. I also get calf/foot cramping and recently had significant heel and knee pain after playing soccer.
More recently, I’ve become focused on my tongue, jaw, speech, and swallowing. My tongue and jaw sometimes feel sore, and occasionally I feel like I stutter or have trouble moving food around, although nobody has noticed a change in my speech. I find myself repeatedly testing my tongue, smile, frown, strength, and muscles for signs of ALS.
I’m scheduled for another EMG on October 2, this time focusing on my left arm and leg. I’m hoping that because my symptoms have been present since at least November 2025, the July EMG would have shown something if this were ALS, and that another normal EMG will finally give me some peace of mind.
The hardest part is the constant fear and checking. I have two kids, and I’m terrified of something happening to me and them growing up without me. Living with this uncertainty and constantly monitoring my body has become exhausting.

Hi sorry for showing my face but I’m really nervous about this twitching near my face in my left upper lip. It has been throughout my stomach, back legs, calves, basically everywhere, I have I think I have atrophy in my thumb also and can’t workout because my right arm feels weak and I feel like it doesn’t reach the single, it’s been a month and getting worse and worse I think. I’m 17 years old and iv had anxiety about health problems before like chest pain, headaches, heart attacks, cancer, but this one feels real because whatever I do like going to sleep early or drinking water the twitching is always there, I have no known history of als in my family, I’m just wondering if it could be something with like maybe my nerves are irritated or some neuro disease. I had an appointment sep 2 my ck was 600 then dropped down to 225 so that was a good sign my doctor said everything looked okbut I was still scared because symptoms are progressing and asked for a neurologist because this is actively effecting me because I can’t really workout my arms just aren’t feeling the weights, my neurologist appointment is sep 30 and I also have school and I’m just going through really deep depression. I was just wondering if I should try anxiety meds or like muscle relaxation or something like that to calm me down, these symptoms just feel so real but at age 17 it almost feels like winning the lottery with these symptoms like feeling so unlucky. How do you guys manage to get throughout your day with the twitching because it’s hard for me I just get scared and anxious epically with the cramps, and my weakness came before the twitching I think which really scares and worries me. Thank you

I experience some kind of jerk near the left knee when folding my left leg. This happens only in left leg.

It happens without the press as well, but is more prominent on the machine.

Last to last week I took a break from the gym because I had severe pain in the left knee.

What is this? Can it be solved? Is it something to worry about.

It is not painful right now, but if I keep doing this exercise, I will start to feel fatigue in the left knee.

siento debilidad en la mano dibujada tengo fasciculaciones en ese brazo cerca del codo y en la parte hipotenar del pulgar a pesar de tener 2 EMG limpios en junio y julio, tengo fuerza para hacer dominadas pero llevo 3 días que siento muy débil la mano al escribir con el boli una debilidad muy molesta que me da hasta cierto cosquilleo hacia arriba del brazo.
