I resumed weight lifting about 2 weeks after a prolonged break. Since that workout I have been experiencing almost constant twitching in my quads/thighs, calves, and around the knees. The twitches feel deep in my legs and only last 1-2 seconds. They are most notable when I am relaxing but can also be felt when standing.

Everything I have read says exercise related twitching and fatigue should subside by 5-7 days, so I am concerned it is something worse. Of course, now ALS or MS has entered my mind and is causing unnecessary anxiety.

I've been twitching everyday, all day, for 21 months straight

My twitching has recently subsided. But I had it for a couple months, pretty consistently, every day. Now I just get it in my eye when I haven't slept enough, and on occasion in various party of my body.

But I lifted weights today and after I did lunges my calves were going CRAZY. Twitching all over the place. They have since calmed down a bit, but still get a twitch here and there tonight.

Twitching is very common.
