What Could Excess Muscle Twitches On Foot Suggest?

For the past three months i have had muscle twitches all over my body. No place more than another. From legs to back to arms to chest. Now for the past week i havent noticed much twitching. For the past week i have had a vibration like a cell phone in my left foot only. Now it feels numb and feels like the numbness is starting to spread to my knee. Also numbness at the base of my thumb on the palm of my left hand.

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

There are various reasons for twitches/tremors

The symptoms may likely to be due to Vitamin B12 deficiency or a fluid and electrolyte imbalance. Taking proper supplements will help in symptomatic improvement after a few blood investigations.

It could come in people who are chronic alcoholics but most often than not it is idiopathic and u can take tab betacap tr in the night to treat it. But don’t take the pills without going to a neurologist

Some medicines like Propranolol, trihexiphenidyl and Primidone are used in an attempt to control it, but they can at best only control the tremors to an extent.
Take them consulting your doctor.
Hormonal imbalance like hypothyroidism leads to similar tremors .So checks your thyroid hormone level.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
