I'm a 26 year old male and I've been twitching for 10months I had a EMG on my entire left side as well as back and tongue. My right thumb is constantly tight and so is my left leg I can still walk and do the things I do normally. I also had a muscle ultrasound on my right hand because of a dent. Everything came back normal. I'm just worried it could possibly still be ALS due to the tightness nueromusular neuro noted my reflexes we're normal. Could this still be ALS? I have a dent in my hand when i bend it a certain way, ive had a protein electrophoresis blood test done where my free chain links was elevated. Also my right hand just doesnt feel the same feels like its harder to use. i had a ultrasound on my hand that my neuromuscular physician had perfomed said everything looked normal just have fears of ALS
