A member asked:
I have read that twitching is only a concern if muscle weakness is present. can pain in knees and other joint pain along with twitching be weakness?

No- pain HURTS: Weakness is lack of STRENGTH...pain is not a prominent feature of weakness therefore, should not be considered weakness...just because people are less likely to do things making them APPEAR WEAK.....see the difference?

You can ...: You can have joint pain if the muscles supporting that joint are weak. When the supporting muscles are weak, the joint suffers more trauma resulting in more joint pain. Hope that helps.
