A member asked:
I've been having muscle twitches in my calves for past 9 months.is there anything to take or do to lessen or stop these annoying, my magnesium is norm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Other electrolytes: Sodium, Calcium and Phosphorus should also be checked. If all normal, EMG/NCS study to check nerves to calf muscles and nerve/muscle interface should also be checked. Please discuss with your doctor. Hope this was helpful. Thanks for using Healthtap. Dr R
