A member asked:

My left arm is sore from working out but a few minutes ago it started twitching and it doesn't stop what can it be? it's on the upper arm area

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably related: Twitching (a fasciculation) of the muscle could certainly be related to working out. This will go away with time.

Dr Saghafi and another doctor agreed
