Need Advice on Twitching Legs

Highlights Only
As far as I understand permanent soreness means you have inflammation process (so called myositis, or just musklce inflammation in plain English). Reasons for myositis, as far as I remember, could be a) chronic infection anywhere in the body as immune system attacks body tissues without making a good difference) b) autoimmune conditions with the specific target on musculosceletal system like RA, etc., c) overexertion for some reasons becasue in that case soreness is caused by local inflammatory agent lactic acid, which is a product of muscle operation, and if not delivered promptly out of the muscles, it causes inflammation and pain, so exertion plus bad blood circulation, that is why soreness is often found in leg muscles. Myositis also is know to be a pure reaction for stress, becasue the body forms muscle tension as part of fight or run reaction.Hope that would help.
 
So maybe not bfs, I put it down to that as lots of others seem to have soreness and it's started since my twitching, not sure if others have it on a daily basis too.
 
BFS involves autoimmune attacks too... why not?I had soreness after twitching sometimes. But I am extremely non-fit person and I have sore muscles even after easiest gym set (like 8 min Jamie Brenkus video workouts)
 
As my thigh hurts mildly all the time I think it's sore and not stiff. I am however, concerned that I'm going to have this soreness permenently. I don't understand why it is there every day even when I'm not twitching in that muscle. I'm getting concerned about the dreaded again.
 
Thanks for that GlowGreen, I couldn't agree with you more, I need a huge reality check! I'm getting married in July and keep thinking I'll be dead by then! I don't know what the heck has happened to me to allow this fear to rule my life. I now have a dent to the left of my left knee that hurts and I have convinced myself it's atrophy, been on *** sites and researched it already! I just want this fear to go away but I don't think it's going to any time soon. PS: you're reply made me laugh so thanks for that. X
 
Thanks mikes 44, do you get them daily? I'm using ibuprofen gel twice daily, it's helping a lot but still feels weird to touch, kind of squidgey and sore to touch. I'm also getting painful twinges in my left thigh, not sure if they're spasms or cramps but they hurt!
 
Hi, as you all know my left thigh area has been sore for ages now, I've been getting painful twinges in it too, are these cramps or spasms? Any one know of any thing to stop/ease them? They are worse with movement, kind of feels like the start of a cramp but never goes into a full blown one? Is this all part if bfs? Thank you
 
Another question ...... The painful twinges I'm feeling that I think maybe spasms are in the muscle areas that are sore eg thighs and biceps, bfs,als of bfcs? I'm so confused from all the information I've read. I've read a story by a lady with als and she says first twitching then cramps, also a lot have soreness. I know the weakness comes into play a massive amount but how can I be sure these symptoms are benign? I started with twitching only, I've had that constantly for 8 months and know these spasms for 2, is this progression? I've also read bfcs is very very rare and I don't think it's cramps I'm having. I can't find anything about benign fasiculation spasm syndrome?????
 
Sorry, I didn't mean to scare any one, I was just very stressed and typed before I thought. I've had a clean MRI although I'm not sure what that punts for and I had a clean clinical exam, neuro didn't see the need to do an emg, I really want to trust what he says I'm just scared and these symptoms are driving me nuts!
 
It's all good. I totally understand. At the beginning of all of this. I came across an "atypical presentation" that worked against everything I had studied. There are plenty of stories, that can't be validated by unnamed sources on the net that will drive you crazy. I took it to an established member of this board in PM. She gave some really good advice...advice that I should have already known through common sense. But, in the mist of anxiety we lose our heads....we don't process well. I just work really hard today to avoid those kinds of stories. I work on my information hygiene. If I must study they must come from solid medical sources.
 
Yes you're right, it's so hard to know what is true and what's not, especially regarding " early symptoms " yulisar and GlowGreen have been great, they're probably fed up of my posts, I would be if I were them! It's just so so hard to draw a line under the worry, especially with constant little twitching reminders ha ha.
 
I've just been to see my doctor and he read the letter written to him by the neuro I saw. In the letter it says he didn't see any fasiculations in my arm, he only looked at if for a few seconds! I told my dr that I twitch constantly, non stop all over but mostly in my calfs. He said *** twitching is much different, any one know how? Thank you
 
Just wondering if anyone else twitches continuously, especially obvious first thing in the morning. It's like fire works going off. Would be nice to know I'm not alone, thanks.
 
I'm sitting here at my desk at work and my bicep is twitching once per second (been doing this for 12 weeks straight). Other than that, my calves are crawling (as they've done every second of every day for nearly 3 years) and I'm feeling about 10-20 pops/ flutters/ tugs in all other muscles per minute. The random pops are mainly in my upper arms, but also my thighs, back, and even my tongue. So yeah, mine are pretty *beep* constant.
 
Hi amylou, I have twitched for almost 4 years now although I have had the odd twitches even before then, my legs go crazy on a morning, I twitch all over my face, my tongue, the back of my neck, my stomach, back, buttocks, genitals, legs and feet, I get hotspots, pops, flutters, machine gun rumble types, I get pain and crampy feelings, the full bfs works :)
