Okay to exercise: Exercise will help strengthen your back and prevent further injury. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Was doing squats yesterday, noticed my muscles twitch in both legs when contracted. Stopped when relaxed. Read that contraction fasiculations can be a sign of MND. Really worried. I have widespread twitches, doc says anxiety. No weakness. No atrophy.
