Twitchy muscle

[JubJubBirds]

Out of the blue yesterday a muscle over my ribcage on my right side near my back started twitching. It won't bloody stop and it's driving me mad!

I get this sometimes in various areas. My GP told me it was down to muscle repair after exercise, or when muscles are tired for some reason and told me it was nothing to be concerned about.

I hit post too soon in my stress!

It's like when you get a twichy eye but bigger. You can see it jumping about under the skin and I got my DP to touch it yesterday and she said she could feel it really clearly.

I couldn't sleep properly as it went on nearly all night and now it's back again this morning.

Anyone ever had anything like this before? Any remedies? So far I've tried; flexing it to try and wear it out and heat on it to relax it. But it's stuck on disco mode and won't stop jumping! Help!

Thanks sunflower. I have a condition which can cause chronic pain though so exercise not something I've been doing lately. How long did yours take to go away? Did you do anything to get rid of it?

Maybe if your condition causes chronic pain any sort of 'exercise' could cause the twitch as your muscles will repair after any sort of exertion at all? Have you done anything that could affect that area, even just sitting or sleeping differently?

I've had it where my muscles in my arms twitch and are clearly visible. I didn't do anything as what the GP said made sense. I get it now and again.
Can you make a telephone/face to face appointment with your GP about it?

I did walk up a hill yesterday. A very small one to get to a post box. But I suppose you're right, that could be the 'exercise'.

God what a depressing thought to be floored by walking up a small incline! I must look into some yoga or gentle swimming or something.
