A member asked:
What could be the cause of muscle twitching in my shoulder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This could be: An electrolyte abnormality such as hypokalemia (low potassium) or hypercalcemia (high calcium). It could also be due to dehydration, muscle spasm from over exertion. Be sure to drink plenty of h2o and if it persists see your doctor for blood work.
