Hi,
I have arm and leg weakness and also muscle twitching in thigh, buttocks and arms. Would like to know if you have found out what is your condition. Email me at ***@****. I do not know what's wrong with me too.
ALS can be difficult to diagnosis. An MRI as well as EMG studies would be recommended if this disease is suspected.
Metabolic causes can also lead to some of the symptoms you describe. Testing for thyroid, vitamin B12 as well as diabetes should be considered.
Muscle disorders can be evaluated with a creatinine kinase and aldolase level.
At this time, I suggest a neurology referral. If non-revealing, you can consider an orthopedic referral and/or physical therapy to evaluate and treat the muscle symptoms.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
