Hey guys,
I went to a neuro appointment to get checked for carpal tunnel, he did a brief exam in his office. Everything was perfect, so I shouldn't worry right?
He didn't want an EMG ( I was both relieved and disheartened as I thought I could finally get an EMG so that I could just forget about ALS.) But I have decided to reason with myself and believe that IF this was ALS one of the two neuros I have been to would have noticed something worrisome. My fingers in my right hand have been twitching quite a bit and I also have a tremor in this hand. He said he saw it, but was not worried. He said it is likely anxiety. I also told him about the twitching he disregarded it and was not worried as I have no weakness in this hand... although it feels weak sometimes.
I got a diagnosis of carpel tunnel in this hand so I am happy for at least a small answer.
My question is:
Does anyone else get twitching fingers often on one hand? The focal nature of the twitches is what is freaking me out...
Would the neuros see something in the exams if this was something to worry about?
Thank you!
Best,
Lilly
