My left leg, above the knee towards the inner thigh has been twitching all night. This is different than my ususal little muscle twitches. Those only last a few minutes and can be masssaged away.
This actually feels like there is something in there. No matter what I do I can't get it to stop. You can touch the area and feel the movement from the outside.
Have you had this? Its a new one for me! Not painful, but incredibly annoying ..... itkepts me up all night.
PS I take a lot of magnesium and the twitching I had has mostly stopped, this is way different.

sounds like nerve irritation.... Are you approaching or in a symptom flare up cycle?

I have 3 herniated discs in my back that have caused a twitching in my inner thigh from the groin to the knee. Sounds like the same place for you. If you have back problems, that could be your answer.

David....... I am always waxing and waning on symptoms...... they never go completely away. So I am not sure.......
Jim .... I don't have back probs other than muscle aches from Lyme. I will check into that if it doesn't go away.
Thanks guys, robi

Did you make a change in medication recently? This can cause the problem from my experience. My twitching is pretty much completely gone, but sometimes shortly after starting a new med like Rifampin, I will get some more twitching for a while.

I talk regularly to a lady in New Jersey wh has had neuro lyme for anout 18 yrs. She goes through twitching and restless leg syndrome. MD put her on the new RLS med that just came out. Just a thought......
