Muscle Twitching & Leg Jerking!

Hi, I don’t know what to do! My leg is twitching and jerking without a cause. I can’t control these movements, and it makes me very irritable. It happens every time I sit down, so I stand most of the time. If anybody knows something about muscle twitching, please tell me what could be the reason for this condition?

Hello, I have muscle twitching too. Don’t think that this is happening without a cause, because there is always a reason for this condition. In my case, the twitching is caused by anxiety. My body is paying a price for my mood issues. It usually happens while I am moving, but it sometimes happens when I’m sleeping too. It wakes me up, and there’s no way that it will stop until morning. However, it doesn’t mean that you’re anxious too. There are many other possible reasons for this disorder, such as wasting of muscles, drug or caffeine overdose or exercise. The best thing for you is to be examined by doctor. He will precribe you some medications for musvle twitching, if you need any.

Does this occur more at night than during the day? Have you been diagnosed by your doctor for RLS (Resless Leg Syndrom) ? If this has not bee discussed you might ask your doctor about RLS. A lot of doctors don't know what it is and often miss the diagnosis. It is very treatable.

Hello, I have been having muscle jerking and twitching for about 14 months now. I have never had an muscle weakness in my arms or legs. I pretty much get them when I am laying around doing nothing. I dont have any vision problems or anything, my memory is not very good im guessing that could be do to heavy drug use in the past. I have never had any problem with walking, stumbling, or anything like that. Im a little worried that it could possible be MS, but I listen to peoples onsets and it doesnt seem like I have any of them. I was also worried about a brain tumor, my grandpa was diagnosed with a brain tumor when he was in his mid 60's. I am only 20 years old so its not very likely, but who knows. I am a HUGE hypocondriac also. I am taking Wellbutrin XL which has muscle twitching side effects and just got off Geadon for same reasons. If you could let me know what you think that would be great.
Thanks

My dad's been having leg twitching for about a year now: he is overweight (never EVER does exercise): tends to happen mainly when he is trying to sleep or when sat down. He's in his early forties but has smoked cannabis for about 30 years. He is currently booked to visit a neurologist, but does anyone know what the actual cause of the twitchiness is?
