A member asked:

My upper left arm has been twitching for the past couple of days now, it has been in the same spot and just my left arm. what could be wrong?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ans: Sounds like a muscle spasm. The muscles may spasm if they are fatigued. Just one side. You may be lifting or using this arm more try resting and heating the area. If this continues see your doctor
