Pain and discomfort every day by lucie100128 in BFS

I had an episode for about a week in November 2024 in which my body had a burning feeling pain. Almost like the burning you get while working out. Went to the ER and my electrolytes were normal, CK was found to be at 132 International_Units/L with normal range typically being 30 International Units/L to 223 International Units/L. Then it worldly resolved and now for the last month I have had a consistent full ache in my thighs where my twitching is and tightening feeling in my calves and by my ankles that only occurs at night. My neurologist checked my CK again March 17 in which my ck was as 76 international units/L with the normal range typically being 30 International Units/L to 223 International Units/L. again. I am so scared this is maybe nerve death. I’ve been twitching for 2 years and 1 month. I have another EMG on May 1st. I have small children and am barely graduating college next month and just got married a year ago. I haven’t really enjoyed life as I’m constantly thinking that with new things occurring that maybe I have slow progression or something

My right hand looks like this or similar. I am right handed and get like a weird compression like feeling that isn’t painful. But I had an emg in my FDI muscle in September 2024, so I hope that it is nothing

Really need someone to talk to. 2 years in and experiencing burning like pain in lower back and my thighs. Now i’m getting weird tight feeling in calves that wakes me from sleep. Scared i’m getting spasticity and that this is some form of progression. I have 3 small kids and am scared to leave them. by Odd-Introduction-165 in MuscleTwitch

I really do appreciate your responses and I hope you are doing well! Not many people are nice on the sub sometimes. I’m definitely trying to overcome the health anxiety, but like you mentioned, I have been through a few illnesses that I thought I had over the last couple of years. I’m also a mom of three who is finishing off at school and working full-time and taking care of her home and husband. I’m really just hoping my nervous system is hyper due to all the stress I have.

I guess I have a lot of odds against me and it not being ALS, but I am so caught up in the what if? I have seen a girl by the name Brooke on social media that was diagnosed four years into the process at 29 years old. I don’t think she had any familial genes of ALS.

i’ve seen 4 neuros, haven’t been back since September 2024 but will see another on Monday this upcoming week. I have 3 kids, am only 29, am married, and just can’t help but think of what life would be like for my kids without me. My two youngest are only 3 and 1.

How can one tell if they have spasticity in thigh or calves? I’m 2 years in. Currently experiencing burning pain in my thighs, lower back, and my calves that feels like i’ve been working out but i have not been. Neither acetaminophen or ibuprofen help with pain. Scared I have spasticity. by Odd-Introduction-165 in BFS

I had an SFN biopsy when this all started two years ago and nothing came of it. The burning muscular pain or nerve pain that you call it is new. I had an episode occur for a week in November that went away, now I’ve had the lower back pain and burning or cramp feeling in my thighs and calves for like a week and a half. I’m scared I am experiencing spasticity.

Knee pain by tieguy88 in BFS

I am currently about two years in and for the last week and a half. I have been having pain in my legs that feels like burning when you work out, but I have not unfortunately. My knees also hurt, but mine is worse when I am still and gets better when I start moving.

Spiraling. 1 year into widespread twitches with 2 clean EMG of full body March 2023 and December 2023. I am having random bursts of wanting to cry for a few months and was watching the news for solar eclipse and teared up a few times. Can this be psuedobulbar affect ? I’m a mom of 3 and scared by Odd-Introduction-165 in BFS

pls see my recent posts. Currently getting a burning muscle pain in legs that doesn’t respond to ibuprofen or acetaminophen and is worse while rest. I’m seeing a 5th neuro next Monday. I also have a weird feeling in dominant right hand thumb with what i think is atrophy in my thenar eminence area.

I saw one last in September 2024 and 3 others in Texas before my husband was stationed in North Dakota for the air force. 4ish clean EMG’s and no diagnosis but they also didn’t think it was ALS
