Twitching Pickle wrote:Hi, I'm new here and have had muscle twitching since May 15, 2009, when I came home from a long day on the lake. I got muscle cramps that night in my legs and feet and since then have had twitching, which varies in severity but never goes away completely. The twitching is mostly in my calves but has also been in my thighs, arms, hands and stomach. I also have three herniated discs, which on April 15, 2009 (one month prior) I received a shot in my back for the pain. I don't know if this has any direct correlation or not. Also, I am going through a messy divorce, which started around this same time. My doctor ran blood work and performed strength tests and said she thought it was due to stress but I'm not entirely sure and I'm scared out of my wits. I have an appointment with a neurologist but not until September 22nd, almost a month away. My Doc says anxiety can make my symptoms worse and it’s just a vicious cycle. I lay awake at night while my legs go crazy and then wake up feeling drained like I just ran a marathon! I know this makes me have "perceived weakness" but leaves me thinking "when am I going to trip or drop my coffee cup". I hate this waiting game I'm in right now. Any advice would be helpful. I so appreciate it. Thanks - Weak in Washington.
