A member asked:
My quads are twitching when raising my leg. does this mean i have weak muscles?

Possible: If you have been inactive for some time, just know that certain muscles tend to atrophy faster than others and the quad muscles are one of them. But, if you are having constant twitching, even at rest and other symptoms, then visit your doctor for an evaluation.
