A member asked:
Does having twitching muscles in my back and elbow mean they are injured?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Muscle twitching is very common. It has to do with nerve irritation and doesn't mean the muscles are damaged. Usually, twitching is temporary and resolves on its own.

Twitching muscles : Could represent fatigue or nerve irritation. Would get this checked out by primary dovtor.
