Dad thought twitch at gym was trapped nerve, until doctor gave diagnosis

A keen rugby player who's arm wouldn't stop twitching when he went to the gym has been given a life-changing diagnosis. Ian Cummings, thought it was probably a trapped nerve when he had the unusual symptom 12 months ago, but decided to ask his doctor.

Lifelong friend Phil Bedson told the ECHO: "He was told quite early on that it could be motor neurone disease, which obviously had a massive impact on his family straight away.

"For us, his friends, it was absolutely devastating news, but it put us all in the mind of wanting to help him. For it to happen to someone you care about so much has been really hard, but Ian has been inspiring to us all in the way he has acted."
