Dru Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 A muscle in my left leg has been randomly spasming, or tic'ing or whatever you call it, for the last 2 days. What causes it and how do I get it to stop? Quote
bobinc Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 I'm not a doctor, but it seems pretty clear that your body is crying out for a good single malt Scotch. Quote
freeclimb9 Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 Sometimes low calcium can cause that. Or you've got Presley Syndrome. Quote
sk Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 My advise is a nice cup of tea and some yoga. I usualy get muscle twitches if I am increadibly nervouse or tense. Quote
Dru Posted January 28, 2003 Author Posted January 28, 2003 I just ate some pie and it stopped. "damn fine coffee" is probably to blame causing dehydration Quote
Greg_W Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 Dru - what were you doing prior? Running, lifting weights, hiking? I get this too, on occassion, and it is usually after a strenuous activity; leads me to believe that it is somewhat caused by minor trauma or stress to the joint capsule or attached tissues. Quote
Dru Posted January 28, 2003 Author Posted January 28, 2003 akshully it was saskatoon berry pie today! what the hell do americans call sakatoons anyways? you probably think theyre a type of huckleberry Quote
rbw1966 Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 what the hell do americans call sakatoons anyways? Â Dingleberries. Quote

Dru Posted January 28, 2003 Author Posted January 28, 2003 DOUG THAT EXPLAINS IT Â DO YOU THINK OFFWIDTHING COULD ALSO BE A PROBLEM Quote
Dru Posted January 28, 2003 Author Posted January 28, 2003 OK moderators this one was a serious question. Fess up who moved it to SPRAY and move it back. Quote
Mr._Natural Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 DOUG THAT EXPLAINS ITÂ DO YOU THINK OFFWIDTHING COULD ALSO BE A PROBLEM Â dunno, I stay away from all craks too wide for fists. Erik would know, he's into that shit. Quote
COL._Von_Spanker Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 Back on topic: Â I too occasionally get the random spasms. Usually it's on the top/middle of my left thigh. I can see the little muscle twitching away which is usually pretty funny. It sometimes happens on the left bicep as well. Quote
Dru Posted January 28, 2003 Author Posted January 28, 2003 strange coincidence, mine also on left side and its just one muscle fiber just above the knee... i cantthink why, i am not calcium deficient, no longer dehydrated, and total exercise in last 2 weeks has consisted of walking and a 1 hour hike uphill in the rain... Â the little muscle has been twiching since sunday night or monday am, even during the night when lying in bed and the leg is fully relaxed... maybe there is an alien implant i am unaware of... Quote

Geek_the_Greek Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 what the hell do americans call sakatoons anyways? you probably think theyre a type of huckleberry  Not that anyone gives a shit, I'm sure, but here in yank-land it's called serviceberry (the generic name for any Amelanchier genus shrub).  ....thus ends this brief foray into spray...

rbw1966 Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 I get the twitches every so often. I was told that its a potassium deficiency. Bananas are supposed to help. Â Seemed to work. But I am not a doctor, I just play one on As the World Turns. Quote
Dru Posted January 28, 2003 Author Posted January 28, 2003 OK I will drink a Banana/blueberry/pear/rum Smoothy in 0.75 hr and see if that helps - it will kill the 420 munchies anyways Quote
rbw1966 Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 At that time you won't care anyway, right? Just make sure to incorporate some dingleberry pie in your diet. Quote
