Pain: I would not worry as it is probably spontaneous muscle movement

Not to worry: Dear ChelsieH, it is normal to feel "quirky" things like hurting or tingling or twitching intermittently. We worry when symptoms happen consistently, like every day and/or if they are progressing (getting worse) in any way. If these pains are short and intermittent, I wouldn't worry. Let us know if they become stronger and more frequent. I hope this helps.
