A member asked:
I have twitches and burning pain for months in random spots around my body and fingers. no weakness. neuro said bfs, not als. what else can it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
BFS: I'm not aware of BFS causing any pain. I recommend getting checked for deficiencies of calcium, magnesium, Vitamin B12, or potassium. Minimize caffeine. Avoid nicotine. Chronic stress and anxiety may cause muscle tension leading to twitching.
