I have muscle twitching at random locations on my body and have some pain in hand. I went and saw an orthopedic today and he tested all my reflexes and strength and said that it’s some tendon issue. I forgot to show him this thing.

I got an EMG and ncv done in XXXXXXX which was normal. Attached the image of the report below.

What do you think could be causing this, could this be some neurological issue?

It actually feels like the bone has gone in, the muscle is not hanging rather the bone feels like its gone in
