sore shaky arms with occasional muscle twitches. no weakness though, i tested by picking up heavy objects with both arms. so should that rule out als?

Question

What is ALS weakness? My rt arm feels heavy but Im not sure if it's in my mind because I'm worried . Getting muscle twitches that jump around random

Answer 1

Not ALS: I suspect benign Fasiculations - a common cause of muscle twitching. You need to discuss this with your physician to see if there are other explanations.

Answer 2

Multiple: Many things can cause a stomach ache. Infections, nerves, pregnancy, uti, excess sibstances- alcohol, coffee, tea. Undelying gastritis or ulcer.

Answer 3

More info: There are many causes of abdo pain. When do you get pain? What type? How long does it last? Anything make it better? Anything make it worse? Does food affect the pain? Have you had any surgery ? How long has it been there? Have you tried any medications? Did they work? Did you injure yourself? Pulled muscle etc? Has anyone done any studies? See a doctor for exam and studies.

Answer 4

Insect bites: It could be any insect bite. See the doctor if it does not clear up in few days. If it is itchy you can try Hydrocortisone cream and Benadryl (diphenhydramine) by mouth.

Answer 5

Trauma or Allergies: It could be an allergic reaction or signs of trauma (small bruises.) see your md to be safe.

Answer 6

Mouth breathing: You may breath through your mouth while you sleep, which dries out your mouth and throat. With a dry mouth, certain bacteria can proliferate which causes an odor. Try brushing your tongue as well as your teeth, and when you use mouth rinse, gargle it into the back of your throat as well.

Answer 7

Several possibilties: You may be a mouth breather and the physical drying of the back of the throat may be responsible for discomfort. Drink some water in the morning. Other possibilities include nasal drainage from allergy or sinus drainage producing post-nasal drainage. These symptoms need to be diagnosed properly by an ENT doctor.

Answer 8

Consult your physici: Consult your physician. He/she will probably can pinpoint the possible cause/causes after questioning and examining you. You might need labs or other studies to confirm or rule out diseases.

Answer 9

Carpal tunnel: Your symptoms could indicate carpal tunnel. If you do alot of typing, writing or anything that entails alot of wrist/ elbow movement then it is a possibility. You can try to use wrist brace and see if that helps. These days xbox, ps3, txt msging on small phone screens can all cause it..

Answer 10

See below: Do you type? One possibility is carpal tunnel syndrome or other nerve impingement syndrome affecting the nerves that lead to you hand. These are usually due to overuse where the nerve area is inflamed and this pain results. See you doctor.
