The past 5 months or so I've been having some anxiety issues and a couple of months ago they hit hard.  I've been having issues with my left leg (feeling heavy) and went and seen a chiropractor about it.  He told me that my SI joint in my lower back is super tight and that's the reason for the heaviness.  Now the back of my legs will hurt off and on and I have muscle twitches all over my body.  Today it was my thumb and index finger on my right hand.  I also have been feeling an "electrical shock" feeling in my big toe in my left foot.  The Chiro also dismissed this as a nerve issue in my foot.  I'm at my whits end because I've convinced myself that I have MS or ALS.  Does this sound like one of these or does it sound like another issue with anxiety?  Should I listen to my chiropractor and dismiss them as related to my back?  Please help!!

No one here can diagnose you.  My advice is to go see your doctor and see what he or she says.  If you are having anxiety issues, then be sure and get that treated.  Please tell your mental health professional that you are having anxiety about having ALS and or MS based on some symptoms you are having. 

I am very sorry you are not feeling well, and that you are anxious about it.  I hope you are feeling better soon and get some answers to these issues.

I see an MRT (muscle release technique) therapist for similar muscle and pain issues that you described. I'm in Michigan and he practices not too far from my house but perhaps a google search can locate someone close to you...

Just a though, I had anxiety and muscle twitches as my main symptoms and it turns out I have lyme disease. You may want to look up the symptoms and if you think it fits you may want to pursue a lyme literate doctor because tests come back negative all the time especially the longer you have it. Only a lyme literate doc can make the clinical diagnosis and give proper treatment. Best Wishes. Hope this helps a little.
