Twitching Calf: Normal or Not?

[CursedLeprechaun]

This weekend, I noticed some twitches in my left calf that I could see, but not feel. Is this normal? I found myself sitting for 30 minutes both yesterday and this afternoon, watching this occur. There were some twitches that I could feel, as well, but it seemed that the majority were not. This morning, I didn't observe any twitching in the calf.

This just in!!! It appears that I have them (the silent ones) in my right calf, too. Maybe not the same frequency as the left, but they are there.

Again, should I be worried? I searched this in the archives and saw posts that indicated that I should be concerned and some that indicated that I should have no reason for concern. Yes or no?

Thanks.

I get these to in my calves, some I feel , some I don't. 16 months and still going. I remember last year when all this started and I was sitting by pool and my wife said look at your leg. She saw a few blips of the muscle move, so I looked down and I saw it move but could not feel it. If you had a clean emg nothing to worry about. It's the most common place to twitch.

I have alot of twitches in my calves. Sometimes I can see them; mostly I don't. Everytime I can FEEL them. Calves twitching lasted over 21 months; since September 2004. For my own piece of mind I started exercise last year. Last month I have run over 3,5 miles at once 8x at least. Yesterday I have done same. This year I have 50. Now I can run 10 times more than 1-2 years before (before BFS started).

left and right calf twitching for 17 years now, since I was 15 years old!

My brother and father both have constantly twitching calfs. No ALS, no MS or any other abnormalities accompanying them.

But do you always feel them? My concern is that I don't always feel them. I've read conflicting posts on this matter while searching the archives.

I feel the big ones and dont really feel the small ones. My brother and father dont feel most (99.99999%) of theirs. For my brother and father it would be very, very, rare to feel any of them.

What are the conflicting reports? Perhaps I can sort them out.
