Twitching and Cramping: Timing and Feelings

[austignite2020]

I have had twitches for 2 months, but cramps only started in the last few days. For those of you with cramps, did they always start at the same time as the twitches or did they come a little later? Also can you please describe they how your cramps feel. Did they come and go quickly, moving around? Mostly legs? I hate this...

My feeet began cramping about 2-3 months after the twitching. They continue to come and go but the twitching never stops.Sue

Funny you bring this up. My cramps just started about 2 days ago, which was about 6-7 weeks after I started twitching. Now I feel like every muscle in my body (especially my back) is trying to revolt. This sucks! And yes my cramps are moving around too. One minute my upper thighs are sore, the next minute it's my lower back. Then all of a sudden it is my left shoulder. It's weird.

With me I had numbness first. Then came the twitching. It was months later that the cramps started for me. Parts of my body feel crampy a lot of the time. Other parts like my feet cramp up occasionally.

This all started last November. My left thigh was realy sore. I do a lot of lifting at work and thought I had strained something. Went to the clinic and he sent me for an X-ray. Meantime I stayed off my feet for the week end and the pain went away. But the left thigh twitched non stop for an entire day, then stopped. After that I noticed that my lower legs felt numb. If I rubbed them it felt like I was touching them through a sock. I began feeling itchy feelings in both legs and then twitchy feelings. I ignored it for a while. Finally I wondered if I could see these twitches I was feeling and when I looked I could see the ones I was feeling and others I couldn't even feel. It's been about eleven months now. I get migrating crampy feelings, usually thighs, knees and ankles, sometimes very painful.Sandra D

Thank you all for responding. For those of you with cramps, would you say the cramps generally started after you were twiching, then. Not in conjunction with the early twitching? Thank you.

For me it was definitely after the twitching. My original symptoms had no pain at all.

Now that you mention it I did have some twitching & vibrating beforehand but didn't think much about it. The cramps and spasms are what caught my attention (ouch) along with their ability to stay around for long periods of time. I still get the weird flutters & creepies, it just is not a deal for me and probably not as consistent as with some here. - The cramping & overly tense muscles are consistent and can be very uncomfortable. I get sporadic numbness which goes away with movement. Where? mostly legs & mid-back, neck, but sometimes pects, sides, shoulder, fingers...........
