A member asked:

Can poor circulation cause non painful muscle twitching(not spasms) in legs and arm?

Dr. Grace Torres-hodges answered

Specializes in Podiatry

Sometimes: If there is intermittent circulation going to a muscle, it is not going to be "fed" properly and the efficiency in the muscle function may be compromised. Twitching is plausible.
