Right arm weakness, doctors dont know.

Hey guys,

I was wondering if you could help me. I have been experiencing a lot of symptoms for the pas 6 months, but I have no idea what to do anymore.

I'm a healthy 22 year old asian student, who doesn't drink, smoke and was pretty active at sports. I've been experiencing significant muscle weakness in my right upper arm( dominant arm), to the point where my right arm can't lift glasses normally anymore and is doing these strange movement to compensate for the weakness, my arm has the tendency to be in the flex position . I have also been noticing widespread fine twitches, paresthesia and muscle shaking around the biceps without overly exerting myself.

Docs have examined me and couldn't find any clinical weakness, although functionally there is weakness. Emg was done at the biceps/ triceps, all clean. Mri of the spine and brain was also done and was also clean. No abnormalities found in the blood work.

So as you can see I'm at a loss, the arm weakness is still there and it is influencing my daily activities. Perhaps you might have some insight of all of this.

Thanks for reading my long story.

Dt
