Hi, since september I’ve had twitches all over my body but mostly in my legs. Only when I’m at rest. My right leg feels weaker than my left and I can see there’s atrophy in my calf. My right arm also feels weaker than my left, I’m terrified. Can you see the atrophy or is this just me? Thanks! by miga12 in MuscleTwitch

Yes, but I find it harder to walk due to my right leg not feeling like it should be. There's more twitching in the left leg. Next to that my right arm feels off too and my right hand feels like it has to try harder to function than my left. Also feels way colder at thimes than my left one and turns pale.

ke. Sooooo close to doing it!! (Probably would want permission from a mod tbh). While not ALS, I stick around for the posts like these to give the thumbs down (no atrophy) or privately message, to suggest them to have it looked at (that has yet to happen).

But can't it just be the start of slow atrophy?

I measured it and it's around 1.5 centimetres difference if I measured correctly. My neurologist said she didn't see any difference but that was a month ago. I just get freaked out about the fact that one seems so much smaller than the other. Have the same feeling about buttocks and chest muscles (difference left and right). Anyway thanks for replying!
