for the past week or so the bottom part of my left bicep has been twitching almost non-stop. It is very annoying i'm just wondering if anyone knows the cause and/or remedy for a constant arm twitch. I dont think it's going away any time soon, it sucks :tongue:
it wil go away.. Ive had slight twitches before.. Alternative Names Muscle fasciculation; Fasciculations of muscle Considerations Muscle twitching is the result of minor local muscle contractions or the uncontrollable twitching of a single muscle group served by a single motor nerve fiber or filament. Muscle twitches are minor and often go unnoticed. Some are common and normal, while others indicate a neurologic disorder. Common Causes Benign twitches (not caused by disease or disorders) Often affecting the eyelids, calf, or thumb Normal and quite common, often triggered by stress or anxiety A diet deficiency Drug overdose (caffeine) Drug side effect (such as diuretics, corticosteroids and estrogens) Exercise Symptoms suggestive of a neurological cause of fasciculations include: Wasting of muscle Weakness Other findings of nerve dysfunction Neurological illnesses where fasciculations are seen include: Chronic denervation of muscle due to disk compression of nerve exiting the spinal cord ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) Spinal muscular atrophy Muscular dystrophy Myopathy Home Care There is usually no treatment necessary.
well i had a twitch in the eye, and got Botox, see if thats a option.. are you on a anti depressant? they can cause sagging of facial mucsals< sorry not my favorite word but you get it.. lol but I dont think your elbows accually Ive had relief from twitching from caffiene.. maybe you need caffiene? like a fix.. like it says anxiety can cause it, But I can cure my anxiety with a ice cold soda? I dont know if that helps ..
That happens to me too. I asked the dr and he said it was from stress. Something about a chemical buildup when your stressed and it causes a (any) muscle to twitch. And i noticed that next time it happened, i was really stressed the day before! Don't worry, unless it happens all day, every day! Then worry and go see a dr!
