Hi, found this forum, seems like a nice place. I unfortunately lost my father this year to a brain tumor. And now it seems I have hypochondria, I have had worries of every lump I feel on my body, every headache I have.
An actual injury I think I got was when in August I was doing barefoot burpies and I got a pain in my foot. Next day my left foot was largely numb and for a couple of weeks if my left foot brushed anything it would almost spasm. It slowly got better though some of the skin is still a tad numb to the touch and I get a weird feeling when I walk barefoot on my left foot. Looking at a map of nerve areas on the foot Im almost sure its compression of the lateral plantar nerve.
However Im an idiot and looked up some stuff on doctor google. And of course you see stuff like ALS and it mentions stuff like muscle twitches. The last couple of months Ive had light twitching in my knee and sometimes calf, and last night actually my upper thigh and kind of left buttock. They're not like full on spasms or painful, just those small twitches. My doctor for my yearly physical did that on the spot test where you close your eyes, touch your nose, move your hands behind your head and behind your back. Tapped my knees to make them move. She said everything was normal. I also had a lot of left eye twitching for about 2 weeks straight but since Ive taken more magnesium and talked with my sister who has some knowledge of physical theory and it seems to have gotten better. I also occasionally have twitches in the area of tissue that connects your ribs to muscle but thats a lot lot rarer to the point where I likely wouldn't notice it if I wasn't why my doctor calls "hyperaware".
Its just since losing my father who got stage 4 Brain cancer at 60 I just cant help but think of the worst. To the point it affects my bloodpressure and Ive actually annoyed my family a couple of times. Thinking logically Ive gone back to work part time as a delivery driver who has a higher than usual drop onto my left leg a hundred+ times every day at work. I havent lost any strength, full feeling in my toes and extremities and full motion in them. My leg doesn't limp, I know my left achilles needs to be stretched more often as for the last couple of years it seems to tighten up quicker. My sister suggests wearing sandals in the house when I walk around a lot getting stuff done or reading a book while walking. I can think logically. Its just then an area of my left leg will twitch a bit, my mind focuses on it which my sister points out can often make it occur more from stress, and yeah I get stressed.
Sorry for being long winded. Mentioning this almost seems to help.
