Sciatica. : The term "sciatica" implies compression of a nerve, and that compression can transmit to the muscles with symptoms of pain, spasms, weakness or twitching. So your symptom could be consistent with sciatica.

It may be: I would suggest you try magnesium supplements like magox 400mg and see if that helps at all…..
