Hello everyone,
I know we have had a million posts on sore muscles and twitching muscles, but mine seem to be a bit different (don't they always?!). My legs and arms twitch slightly when I am resting, but they twitch more when I am walking or exercising. It's not that I have fallen over or get cramp or anything, just a slight feeling that my legs aren't working as fast as they used to. I know this is probably stupid and all related to anxiety, but I haven't felt anxious at all lately. Also, my head will quickly flick round to the left. Please reassure me this isn't MS or anything hideous! My GP doesn't seem in the slightest concerned. My concern is that everything I have read says muscles twitching AT REST are nothing to worry about. Mine twtich more when they are active...eek! I have searched for other twitchy muscle posts and read those with interest. Also, I get weird feelings, like electricity running up and down my legs - if I knock them accidentally, or they are touched by mistake, they totally overreact and kick out - very odd.
reassure me please!
