Did I get an intermittent twitch in my legs, calves, and thighs because of my asymmetrical thighs?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. I would like to explain that your symptoms could be related to anxiety or benign fasciculation syndrome. Anyway, I suggest the following:

1) Check vitamin D, vitamin B12 plasma levels, and thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction.

2) Measure with a meter that both the thighs in the same level to determine if there is any significant difference.

You should know that all bodies are asymmetrical, and this is not a disease. If asymmetrical legs are associated with weakness in the thinner leg, I also suggest nerve conduction studies should be done.

Kindly revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. Usually, the leg thinning starts distally in the calves, not in the thighs, and it is symmetrical in ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). A pinched nerve can cause asymmetrical thinning in the thighs. On the other hand, thinning goes parallel to muscle weakness. For this reason, I suggest performing nerve conduction studies just to put your mind to ease, as, in my opinion, nothing serious seems to be going on.

I hope you understand.

Kindly revert in case of further queries.
