    There are some 'benign' conditions that cause twitches. I know one is called essential tremor. It is different to Parkinson's, but can present similarly at the start.

    If your dr doesn't find anything, and it gets worse or you are still concerned ask to see a neurologist. But if the actual twitching doesn't worry you too much, i wouldn't stress too much about what it could be.

    take care

    happens to me all the time. Mines from just nerves. Its how ur body is postoined at the time. Mine hands twitch alot if i hold it in a half egg shape. My eyelids twitch all the time. But if i get up and move around, it stops.

    thanks kate, she mentioned having nerve testing done if it continues, i noticed i get it in my legs too at night, i didnt think i did

    t4ab ouch that must have hurt!! lucky i dont have any pain.

    hollye ive had the eyelid twitch etc before too but this is very different, its not how my body is positioned as it more often than not doesnt stop when i move

    Fortunately for me when i fell off the horse i instantly went into shock and adreniline (sp?) kicked in so i didn't feel much pain, it was weird though because i knew my arm was broken but it didnt hurt just felt really heavy. It was scary when i couldnt wiggle my fingers for a couple of days after my surgery, i still cant bend my little finger, sometimes my fingers seize and i can't move them at all so thats always fun haha.

    i forgot to update this, i need to take magnesium which will hopefully stop the twitching, though im getting more at the moment, will see how the magnesium goes!

    Great news that you only need magnesium.
