A member asked:
Sometimes my muscles twitch on different parts of my body, including my butt (buttocks). what does this twitching mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Twitching: If twitching is very frequent and marked, there could be a deficiency of magnesium,calcium or potassium causing abnormal muscular irritability. Discuss this with your physician who can order the appropriate tests and/or refer you to a neurologist if deemed advisable.
