Are these Acute Symptoms? Help me

I recently had fear of being exposed to HCV, But when i consulted the doctor. He said its very very unlikely and chances of transmission is Zero and He did not recommend Testing.

It has been 25 days since the incident. Now  I don't feel tired . But my left legs thighs muscles twiches and pains sometimes ( Not always ) ,Light pain not sever . I usually feel the don't feel pain when i walk or work . I can feel the twitching and light pain once in a while siting idle or when i lay relaxed on bed.

It happens only in left leg . The twitching and started about 3 days before , when i had sex and was feeling very exhausted due to it .

Are these normal Muscle cramps occurring during orgasms , due to improper positions  ?  or Are these symptoms of acute phase  ?

I agree with 22hamilton. The human brain is a very powerful organ... If you keep thinking Hepatitis C, the brain will tell you that everything you are feeling is hepatitis c. You can only catch it if an infected person's blood gets into your bloodstream, not by sex or kissing, so if there was no blood, try to quit worrying about it.

If your doctor stated that there was zero chance of transmission dont punish and scare yourself with images of worse case scenarios. Anxiety plus an active imagination can create hell from nothing. Twitching leg muscles and pain are not symptoms of hepatitis c.

Try to relax and trust your doctor
