Twitching in the lowerlimbs or upperlimbs is common, but not in the lower back. Might be postural also. Try lying in flat hard couch with pillows resting underneath ur thighs n knees. Avoid strenous activities for 2 weeks. how about ur appetite n numbness/weakness of lowerlimbs?
If ur appetite s good n symptoms persists even after 2 weeks, it s advisory to take MRI to rule out tuberculous spondylodiscitis. Thank u
