A member asked:
Im 17. sometimes when im relaxing either my right or left arm a part of the arm would start thumping up and down. what is this?

Fasciculation: It's likely a fasciculation...similar to cramp or spasm but instantaneous. Usually they are related to recent overuse, some medications or drug use (caffeine among them), and in rare cases to a neuromuscular condition. if they persist talk to your doctor but they are almost always intermittent and benign.
