Hi all, I am new to this forum but not at all new to health anxiety. For the past week, my left thigh has been twitching pretty much in every major muscle group. I am terrified it is ALS/MND. I really do not want to go to the neurologist about it because I was just there for something else, and ended up with an MRI, and I know that I am wasting resources. Also, I have a feeling I started fearing ALS because it does not show up on an MRI so clearly THAT is what I have. :weep:
My logical brain knows this is unlikely. I am only 34, for one thing. I have perceived weakness but as far as I can tell, no real weakness (can still do squats and lunges, etc). I do have some pain, especially along the tendons.
Can ALS start in the thigh? Has anyone else had this happen? Someone please talk me down. :(
