Recently, I have been having repeated muscle spasms, with no pain, throughout the day and night, to the point that it wakes me up, IF I am able to get to sleep in the first place. I've had very little sleep in the last couple of weeks because of it, and I'm exhausted. I've tried aspirin, 800mg ibuprofen, heat, cold, hot baths - which do help the most, but as soon as I am out of the bath, the spasms come back. It's almost a ticklish sensation, over and over again, in my back and rib cage, and makes me want to jump out of my skin. Since it's not painful, people don't understand. I am beginning to feel that I am crazy.
Did you ever find out what was wrong? You posted this in November 2008 - I'm having the same symptoms as you and am scheduled to see a neurologist in June.
Forgot to mention...I'm female..27..currently quitting smoking..otherwise in good health. Also, it might be good to mention that I am undergoing corrective chiropractic care, as my neck and back were all out of whack. I'm hoping that what I'm experiencing has to do with muscle and nerve interaction from the traction and adjustments...just want to rule out anything more serious...
I have been experiencing the same thing!! So far, it's just been in my left thigh...I'll twitch for about 20 secs, then nothing for about a min or so, and then it happens again, usually 3 times...not ever painful, just twitching. I've also had other stuff, like headaches (i've never had regular headaches in the past)...sometimes they throb, also a feeling in my shoulders and back like a burning or stabbing sensation...also I get a feeling of constriction in my face (nose area, usually), and cramping in the neck. There are other things too, but I won't list them all. I am starting to keep a symptom journal, to keep track of everything. I've seen my doc twice, he did blood work, came back with a slightly higher than normal bilirubin, but otherwise normal. He retested the bilirubin and it was back to normal the second time. He was not at all concerned, said it is just stress, but at least I talked him into giving me a referral to a neurologist to see about the headaches. I'll give the neurologist my symptom journal when I go, in hopes that will help narrow down anything that's going on. If I find out anything worth knowing about the twitching, I'll post it here...
hi
I had the sa,e, but mine has gone as far as to be called seizures. All the test were nedative, so they say it's stress seizures. But my body is still going numb and such. I feel like there is something more and they son't know how to read it. I hope they do before it's to late. I wish you luck.
