A member asked:
What dose it mean when my leg twitches ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bengin concerns: This is usually of no consequence. Rarely could it represent a neuromuscular condition such as ALS , commonly known as lou gerhig's disease. Sometimes innocent appearing symptoms can be the heralding of a major illness but it usually would not be the only complaint as other problems would soon arise ie weakness, loss of balance falling or tripping.
