Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
My calves have been twitching throughout the day for about two months now. But, I do not have any weakness. It occurs in different spots on both calves. What could this be?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com. I would like to know a few more things. Is there any change in your weight in the last two months? Did you observe any change in your lifestyle in the last last months? Did you start any exertion during this period? 90% of the normal population experience muscle twitches, which are physiological. Still, I need to know the answers to the above to be sure about the diagnosis.

Thank you doctor,
There is no change in weight. I workout quite a bit and run every other day. I can still do everything I have been doing normally. But, I have twitches constantly throughout my lower legs. I do not have any pain.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com. Most likely it is aphysiological response of your muscles. It should reduce with reduction in amount of exertion. Give a trial of avoiding running and workout for a week and see how it goes. In case, if it still bothers you, can get an EMG (electromyography) done for the calf muscles to rule out the neuronal disease pattern, which is highly unlikely.

Thank you doctor,
As long as you think there is nothing much to worry about I will just keep going. I just freak out over health stuff.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com. Yes, that is right. You can carry on. Yet, I would suggest that as we discussed during last conversation, avoid exertion for a week and be sure that it is physiological.
