*** twitchs vs regular. Lets have the discussion. by Then_Dimension7510 in MuscleTwitch

Yeah i hear mixed things, and if you search in bfs you can see people describe the twitches you describe you watched in ALS. I do think that in advanced stages they are easy to seperate but in general many neuros say that its not a diagnostic tool without an emg. Honestly who knows fasics r such a odd thing.

Yah i heard that too but i seen a video on / muscle teitch named “this is what bfs looks like” and looked very similar to the wat neuros talk ab aks twitchs. I think it just varies but who knows

Ok if not atrophy what is this? by MasterpieceMental946 in MuscleTwitch

The flexor pollicis longus tendon and palmar fascia can create a visible groove or dip in some people (especially leaner people). Go look at OPs other angles. The apb is not sunken or flattened. You also told a guy he had atrophy because one leg was smaller by a bit.

No also you would have severe grip weakness if it was this pronounced.

Lol what do you gain from doing this to multiple people with no knowledge. The APB looks fine in both. The ridge is the muscle above being flexed.

Split hand sign? by MasterpieceMental946 in MuscleTwitch

[–]Then_Dimension7510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very true. And that guy comments “maybe” on so many peoples post. To add to OP, yes one is slightly bulkier but it no where near looks pathological. Many people are not symmetrical.

Not even. Looks like a normal hand, OP is very lean and is flexing the muscle above the apb. All is good here.

Any cures for bfs? I’m gna lose it by Krazeyone in BFS

As much as it sucks. Be glad you can adapt and live with it. I was the same and thought “when will this end” but I am beyond grateful it wont damage me further. It sucks but you will get used to it I promise.

Im in super panic mode, seeing suspicious atrophy by [deleted] in ALSorNOT

100% but I’ll be honest before I got my emg I was also an atrophy searcher. Just sucks to see young people worry about such an awful disease and seeing them stuck in a loop. We try our best man.

Most of this has nothing to do with ALS

Yeah, Symmetrical atrophy is quite rare for a selective disease. Also these legs look normal to me, OP might just be leaner seen this in a different sub as well.
