EMG previously performed had shown minimal chronic neurogenic changes only in the left deltoid and biceps. I have not observed any weakness or atrophy. No abnormalities in lab work or MRI. Is this ALS, BFS, or something else? Looking for some insight. Thanks

Hey, I'm 31 years old and just started having a twitch in my middle finger but not really any weakness either. I'm nervous about possible ALS, and not sure what the weakness feels like. The hand that is twitching feels like I have pain in my wrist and tendon when trying to lift things or make a trigger like motion that makes me weaker but it isn't due to not having the strength, it's more about the pain making it more difficult. Have you experienced anything like that? Also, when you say spasms, what do they look like, is it just a finger twitching?
Wish you the best of luck. Thanks
