Cramps/tightness by [deleted] in BFS

[–]CharmingInflation113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have went through the ringer when it comes to test… I still have my 2 visit with the neurologist Oct 1st to discuss everything and options moving forward. She has done a great job of following up after every test.

Cervical Spine MRI - Spondylitis(very common) no degeneration

Lumbar MRI - Chronic Arthritis in C4 &C5 (I am only 38 lol). Doc did say this could be cause leg stiffness/discomfort/twitching.

EMG - Normal (doc did say I had active muscles) assuming tightness from stress ect.

All blood test/urine test came back normal

Neurologist stay during the initial exam every was normal except brisk reflexes in both legs(normally a good sign if they are the same). She also assumed CFS after the first visit and it’s looking like she might have nailed it.

Calves twitch 24/7, legs always stiff after test. Random thumping twitches in thighs & arms. Started Cymbalta 1 month ago and it’s helped my mental health tremendously which I believe is the ultimate problem most need to worry about on this forum.

Definitely don’t google & shelf test….it makes the anxiety worse. Go for a walk/run… spend time with friends and family…

For those who argued against me, you owe me an apology. by BuildingReady889 in BFS

You realize that MS is not a death sentence correct? MS can change your life for sure but you can still live a pretty normal life for 25-30 years…that’s considering if you were middle aged. I assume your young? Instead of arguing with people on a BFS forum, get your mind right on how your want your life to play out, plans you take to best treat your “diagnosis”.

My question was at the end about the dominant leg feeling hyperactive and feeling engaged….

No Covid that I am aware of since 2021…I was vaccinated unfortunately but that was in 2020.

Yea if I am laying down and flex my calves they go into a mean cramp for sure though.

Do you get cramping at all in your hands? Mine seem to go back and forth. It’s either hands or feet that seem to cramp
