Neurological question

[maplestar]

Over the past 24 hours I have had spasming in my thumb a few times each hour every hour, last night I woke up several times because it was twitching. I have had lower back pain on and off for years and just though it was due to my small frame having large breasts (yes I make sure I wear correctly sized, supportive bras!) Would it be odd to go to my GP and ask if they were connected/ would they think I was time wasting? My father has MS and even though they think it's not hereditary, it's always in the back of my mind.

I cannot see any neurological connection between your lower back pain and your thumb symptoms.
No it wouldn't be odd to got to see your GP about theses symptoms.
It would however be very odd if he found any connection.
M.S would not be a consideration here.
No, M.S is NOT hereditary.

Good luck

maplestar.....just had a thought.................the "twitching", particularly at night, MIGHT be the onset of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome....no big deal, but Google it.

Thanks guys. Sqad, I read a something a while back regarding MS and that even though is not seen as hereditary, if a close relative has it then apparently you statiscally have a higher chance of having it, too - which confused me! Thanks, though. I had thought of Carpal Tunnel, however I have been getting twitching in my toes and calves now, too - so ruled it out. I shall go see my GP. Thanks again.
