Hello,

It seems, you had the same problems, as I do. I have in last years terrible pains from right shoulder joint straight away to the right eye. I had head CT, 2x, and they found Head Atrophy as also 3cm big areals sclerosis on the right Occipitalis. Last September had Head MR, where they found, I have Vein on the same place, 10x11mm. Before that, 2003, x-rays twice have shown benigne tumor on the right shoulder (it looks like a finger hill). 1998, it was the same there, and doctor told, that is ticker muscle (humus?).
In Germany, September 2006 doctor told me, all is from neck muscles. He didn't mention shoulder muscle.
From 1996, 6 years I went to Russian Chiropractors, and they told me, I have trigger points, which send all this pains: over back head, right side of the neck, right eye, sinusitis and of course, right shoulder. I have this Trigger points chart, and found four this points, where I have most pains.
2004, I was in the hospital, they wanted to make operation of this benign tumor, but scientigraphy didn't show, where it comes from. So, I am on the beginning. The pains are like Neuralgias, and two doctors here (one was Russian Neurologist, no more here) told me, my pains in sinusitis maxillaris and face are from C5 and Neuralgia Suprascapularis. Orthopaedist, who gave me this diagnosis, is dead now.
Now, I have to cure muscles. No drugs help me anymore. Or, at least we don't have them here. I used to take SIRDALUD and TRAMAL 500, for 2 years, but it is over.
I have Hypotireosis, Gastritis chr. too.
Any help could be good for me.
Thank you,
Ms.Bobbie, Slovenia

I have an appointment to see my family doctor on 5 Feb. and a follow-up with my neurologist on 21 Feb. I have been having other twitching and problems with memory and weakness in arms and legs for some time now, but the twitching in my arm is the most annoying. I have had 2 mri's that showed an area 1x5 mm in size and there was also some signs of demylenation. My neurologist is supposed to order a repeat of the mri when I go back to see him in Feb. I had bloodwork that showed my vitamin and mineral levels to be okay, but that has been a while and I will request that they be checked again. That was a very good idea and one which I had not thought about.

Thanks for you comments. I will check further with my doctor and neurologist.

hi,
I once had a client who had facial twitches. The neurologist suggested that he could be having seizures. the dr started him on Neurontin and the client called me a couple of months later and said the twitches had stopped. Something to check into.
Best wishes

I've had twitching now for several years and was diagnosed with Benign Fasciculation Syndrome after a clean EMG and brain MRI. Have you seen a doctor? You should to rule out mineral imbalances, thyroid problems, infections and such. If it continues, your doctor will probably refer you to a neurologist who may run these tests along with a physical exam to determine if you have any weakness or atrophy. If you don't, and have no other symptoms, there's not much to worry about from what I understand from my own experience.
