What Causes Twitting Sensation In Thigh?

Hi, I feel a random twitching sensation in my thigh or cheek sometimes that is usually uncontrollable... I usually don t pay much attention to it since it goes away after a few minutes but today I felt it in my bicep for the first time and it has been going on for about an hour. It is not painful.

Hello,

Since you are having muscle spasms (twitching sensation ) in the thigh you are suggested to stay well hydrated. Twitches is also caused by stress and anxiety, hypocalcemia, Charley horse, developing neurological disorder, etc. You are suggested to take adequate rest, avoid addictions if any, stay away from stress (physical and emotional), take home made balanced food rich in vitamin B6, B12, minerals and protein.

Do exercises, stay active. Get clinically examined by a neurologist, get Nerve velocity conduction tests done, get imaging tests & nerve biopsy done if needed. You will be treated with medicines and physiotherapy can be recommended.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
