Why do my thigh muscles keep twitching

Sometimes, when the thigh muscles keep twitching, people often don't take it seriously. It is like the blood flowing along the meridians in the body, and there is no discomfort. This situation usually occurs after mental stress or exercise. When this symptom is more severe, you should pay attention. Sometimes it is the result of strenuous exercise, and sometimes it may be due to a lack of certain nutrients.

In most cases, you don't need to worry too much about muscle twitching. Muscle twitching is caused by the contraction of a group of muscle cells, which is medically called fasciculations. The size of the area and amplitude of muscle fascicle tremors may vary. Small tremors can be felt but not seen, while more obvious tremors can be seen with the naked eye. There is no definite cause for most muscle twitching, but there is no need to worry too much. It occurs when you are tired or stressed, or after drinking tea or coffee. In a few people, it may occur frequently due to physical factors. Most of these twitching are intermittent.

Muscle twitching is usually benign unless it is accompanied by muscle weakness or atrophy. Many people have experienced eyelid twitching, which is actually a benign fasciculation. However, muscle twitching may also be a symptom of certain neuromuscular diseases. If muscle twitching is accompanied by muscle weakness and atrophy, there may be nerve or muscle disease, and you should go to a neurology department for examination. In treatment, you should avoid fatigue, excessive stress, drinking large amounts of tea and coffee. You can take vitamins such as vitamin E, vitamin B, niacin, calcium tablets orally, take muscle and nerve nourishing drugs, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and use acupuncture and physical therapy.

If accompanied by joint movement and stiffness, it is medically called convulsion, which refers to the involuntary strong contraction or twitching of the skeletal muscles of the limbs, trunk and face, which can cause joint movement and stiffness. The mechanism of convulsions is not yet fully understood. It may be related to many factors such as genetics, nutrition, metabolism, immunity, and mental factors. At present, it may be caused by abnormal discharge of motor neurons. Convulsions can be divided into systemic convulsions and localized convulsions. The symptoms you described should be localized convulsions. The main considerations are 1. Habitual convulsions, which are more common in children and young people, and convulsions without organic causes. They are often manifested as blinking, shaking the head, shaking the neck, shrugging, weird looks or weird limb movements. It's hard to control myself. The movements are stereotyped and purposeless, and the patient is emotionally agitated and more likely to have seizures when tired. Treatment is with psychotherapy and drugs to control seizures. 2. Convulsions in random locations are mostly related to medications and can be treated by stopping the medication.
