What To Do For The Burning And Twitching In The Calf Muscle?

For over a week I have had a problem with my calf muscles burning and twitching like something is inside my legs when I lay down to go to sleep and has continually gotten worse. It hurt the worst last night and still hurts, burns, twitching today all day long. I know I drink plenty of water all the time because also when I awake in the morning it wants to draw up and has with my foot curved down and everything tight so I have made sure I am plenty hydrated. It hurts so bad today. I have walked around in the grocery store today for a long time and it still feels the same as well. Also my left hand has wanted to draw up with some of my fingers twice within the past week. I cannot figure this out although I do have fibromyalgia. I never had this before.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have burning and twitching in the calf muscle. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like stress and anxiety , caffeine and other stimulants , nutritional deficiencies , smoking , reaction to drugs, such as corticosteroids, stimulants, and estrogen , muscular dystrophy or Isaac’s syndrome . I would suggest you to eat fresh vegetables and fruits , drink plenty of water , put your legs in hot water tub with epsom salt in it for 15 minutest daily and do light stretching and relaxing exercises like meditation . If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order certain test like blood test , physical examination , nerve conduction test and take history to confirm the diagnosis and treatment . Physical therapy would be helpful .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
