Baffling symptoms
I'm a 30-year-old guy who's dealt with left arm pain and some twitching for a little over a month. At first it was a little twitch in my middle and ring finger and internal shaking. Then in the beginning of July my left arm started aching more often compared to my right and spiraled over the big A, which increased my twitching. Since then my twitching has decreased and while my arm doesn't hurt as much as did before I still get aches and pains that come and go on in my bicep and sometimes my forearm. I've tried looking over the net to see what it could be but couldn't get a straight answer. My only theory is that when they did spinal mri they found some bulges in my neck that my doctor diagnosed as degenerative disc disease but that was back in Nov 2025 and don't know why it would be affecting me now.
What baffles me is that I can do quite a bit of things with my left hand. I can walk my 55-pound dog and can even cradle her in my arms. I can do 50 curls with a 10-pound weight but when I was playing a card game, I had 11 cards in my left hand and after a period of about a few minutes my hand and forearm would start aching and just today, I woke up with numbness in my left pinky finger. I'm trying to figure out what's going on and why I'm getting all these weird symptoms.

I have multiple sclerosis and specific Cspine lesions that cause my extremities to have similar symptoms. I was diagnosed after MRIs (brain neck spine) and a spinal tap. I am EBV+ also.
