A member asked:
My thigh muscles start twitching and rapidly flickering when i stretch my legs in air while sitting on bed or in chair. is it serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thigh muscles: Muscle spasms can be from strain, fatigue, nutritional deficiencies such as low magnesium. Please see your doctor to make sure all is well and then consider seeing a certified trainer at a gym to help you strengthen your legs. Alternatively, your doc may recommend physical therapy if appropriate. Peace and good health.
