    Can't cope

    I have been twitching the last 7 weeks in my left leg and left thigh left foot. Had an mri showed degeneration and bulging discs. My doctor has told me this isn't causing my twitching leg even tho I get pain down that leg and numbness. She has since referred me to an neurologist to find out why I'm twitching I asked her if it could be als and she says I don't know. At this stage I'm sick with worry so sick. I have no weakness. Anybody? Have anything similar. I wish I could just stop the worry

    I had a herniated disc just over a decade ago and it directly caused all sorts of leg tingling/twitching issues, as well as numbness on one side.

    One side you mean including your arm?

    The disc didn't cause my arm to go numb....but....it caused all sorts of trapped nerve issues further up my back which indirectly did cause loss of feeling/strength on one side. It was significant enough for the GP to send me for physiotherapy.

    I can't see how a bulging disc CAN'T cause some nerve interference as everything is packed together along the spine.

    Somebody please reassure me

    I have been twitching everyday on my left calf muscle and left foot for the past 9 weeks. Everyday. Its so stressful. I have been to the doctors and I have bulging discs in my lower back and degenerative changes. I'm waiting on a neruo appointment. Last 9 weeks I have been a worried mess thinking it's slow onset of ALS... I'm 33 so not young. Have kids and just a nervous wreck and losing weight with the stress of it all. Has anybody have anything similar

    Re: Somebody please reassure me

    Hi Missy Kat I am in the exact same position as you but I’m now on 7 months of it! I’m 29 and female

    I know how horrible it is it really consumes you to be honest I slowly was getting better and coping with life and i did notice the twitches disappeared - I am my own worst enemy as I recently read an article and my worries returned funnily enough so did the twitching

    If you ever need to talk I’m always here I know how lonely it can feel I’m still suffering hoping I can get over it soon

    Oh also for what it’s worth I’ve spoke to many neurologists who assure that twitching without clinical weakness really is nothing- it can be all sorts thyroid problems - vitamin deficiency and most of all anxiety!

    A lot of people die from ALS within three years, so if you’ve had twitches for months and no other symptoms, it’s pretty safe to assume it’s not ALS.
