A member asked:

My sternocleidomastoid as well as scalene and other neck musclesstays flexed for 2-3 seconds after i relax the muscles. also i begin to feel a twitch in my lower lip upon relase of flexing the muscles. is this a sign of muscular disease?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dystonia? stress? : 2 possibilities come to mind quickly. 1 is mechanically induced muscle spasm which could be postural and/or due to skeletal abnormalities. 2 dystonia (regional) in which mechanisms in the nervous system mis-program muscle relaxation and contraction. This requires neurological assessment.
