Great news! It's really nice to hear a success story that provides some hope of recovery. We need more positive posts like this.

It does not really get fatigued, but it does feel sore sometimes. This happens primarily after a physical activity or exercise. I also sometimes get nocturnal cramps, and what I call mini cramps during the day that I can best describe as what feels like the muscle pulling or tightening, but it...

My left calf muscle has been twitching literally non-stop since July 2008. I have thousands of twitches an hour in that calf, it never stops or slows down, and actually increases after I exercise. I also get random twitches all over my body, but they come and go.

Rob, our stories are remarkably similar. I’ve had back problems with L4/L5 & L5/S1 for almost 10 years. I have not had surgery, but have had nerve root blocks done several times. The last time I had severe pain, in March of 2006, the sciatic pain was down my left leg and I could not raise my...

I'm in a very similar situation. My calves have been twitching non-stop for the last 18 months – hundreds of twitches per minute in each calf muscle. I also twitch all over my body (including my tongue), but they come and go and vary in frequency and intensity. You can read my older posts to...

Thanks Raindog......and great video by the way. Do you get them in your calf only or do you get them in other areas? How did yours start and have they increased or decreased over time?

Thank you very much for the encouragement Simon. I just have a hard time letting go of the anxiety because of the way that my fasciculations began. They started localized in my right calf muscle 24/7 for five months, and then expanded to the right calf muscle. Now, four months after that I'm...

Do you both just twitch in your calves, or you twitch all over. I twitch non-stop in my calves and get them sporadically everywhere else in my body. What really worries me is that the constant twitching started slowly in one calf, has spread to the other calf and the twitching in both calves...

Hello - I'm new to the board, but have had progressively worse fasciculations that are primarily in my calves since August of 2008 (eight months now). My fasciculations started in my left calf with a annoying twitch in one small area. The muscles was twitching was about 1x per second. In...
