A member asked:

I exeecise for a year regularly mostly legs.two weeks ago i got small but persistent twitch on right knee near knee cap.it wont stop.what shoul i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Evaluate: Nerve entrapment or metabolic imbalances can both cause muscle twitching. I would have someone evaluate you to make sure there is no chemical issues and/or "pinched" nerve in the back or leg
