I had surgery 8 weeks ago. It was an abdominal surgery. It caused a huge increase in my anxiety as I was terrified of complications and blood clots. Things got better and my anxiety is better under control but not perfect.
Anyway about 4 weeks ago I started having twitches in my legs. That started me thinking badly about blood clots but the twitches were all over and in both legs, also had muscle cramps. The twitches started in my arms, eyelids and recently even my abdomen. I did alittle googling and it seems anxiety can be a cause. But the thing I dont understand is that my anxiety has been much much worse than how it is now and I didnt have these twitches. They keep me up at night and sometimes can be painful but are mostly extremely annoying and starting to drive me mad.
My doctor is less than helpful for everything so I thought I would check on here and see if anyone has anything similar. I have had a CT scan recently, and also seen a neurologist 2 years ago because I have insanely brisk reflexes.
Soo I am starting to stress out about these as they are really starting to become a huge nuisance.
