A member asked:
I keep getting large muscle spasms right below my buttock on my right leg and top of the back of my thigh. it twitches strongly. what is the cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle twitches: need to be checked out w/your doc to rule out medical conditions. After that consider asking him/her about taking magnesium as a supplement. Magnesium is often low when muscle twitches are a symptom. He/she can measure it via a lab test. Peace and good health.
