Reply #71: Having 1 weak arm also points to cervical nerve impingment [View All]

Muscle twitch in themselves all the time, even when you are resting and they are at rest. It is what keeps muscle tone up. Having a pinched nerve can slow that down and your general muscle tone of 1 arm (for instance) can be much weaker than the other. I've dealt with people with 1 limb being much weaker than the other, even when it is their primary use limb because of this. ESPECIALLY if it is 1 arm, not both.

c5-t1 is where those nerves are and could be this issue. Reading through this thread, looks like your main symptoms are hands/feet, not other neuro issues.

Word of advice, beware Dr Google. I have given myself all sorts of nasty diseases by researching stuff. I had a job yrs back researching and writing patient ed info that you find on the internets, it was quite interesting to research things, but also amusing how much I could fit into.

That said, good luck and don't freak out too much, just some.
