What Causes Twitching In The Area Of The Infraspinatus ?
3 years ago I tore my rotator cuff. Now I am having twitching in the area of the infraspinatus. It is regular intervals 8 seconds apart then 4 sec and 4 sec, then back to eight. There is no pain, but it is driving me crazy and it's hard to sleep. What can be causing this and what do I do? 3 years ago I tore my rotator cuff.

Hi,thanks for query.What you are experiencing is a involyantary muscle contraction.This can happen due to undue pressure on it,or improper stretching.The injury that you had has nothing to do with this.It should be fine without doing any thing.
wishing you good health.
